About Myles
Myles is a natural born
dancer and teacher who was fortunate to have recognized his talent at a
young age and has trained and developed
it ever since. He has extensive experience and credits in Jazz,
Ballet, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, Martial Arts, Country, Latin,
Ballroom,
and Swing. He is able to draw on multiple sources of training and
experience for unique dancing and teaching strategies. Myles has
the amazing ability to observe a dance he's never seen and after only 5
minutes be able to replicate it perfectly with the technique
and style it normally would take years to develop.
Myles, youngest son of Mickey and Ian Munroe was born in Ontario and moved to Calgary
shortly after. He tagged along with his parents
and brother Toby to regional country dance events and caught the dance
bug. Since the age of 8, Myles has studied all forms of performing
arts, falling in love with the stage and partner dancing in
particular. After winning his first World Championship title at age 14
he went on to win 5 more, the bulk of them with Lisa
Richardson/McIntyre, now Senn. Teaching since age 14, he was always the
youngest
instructor on staff, consistently challenging dancers' stereotypes
about "age=expertise". He continutes to contribute to and influence
the state of the art.
About Tessa
Tessa has a natural kinesthetic
ability and musical sense which she used in her youth through sports and
music. She only recently
discovered her talent for dance and has enjoyed making up for lost
time with an intense learning curve. She has 2 Bachelors degrees:
one in Human Kinetics which gives her a deep technical understanding
of body movement, and one in Education which enables her to breakdown
and explain those movements to learners.
Both love the spotlight and live
to perform. They are passionate about dance (Swing
in particular), improving and progressing their own dancing, and about
sharing their gifts and expertise with eager spectators and
learners.
Tessa was born in Vancouver
and raised in the suburb of Coquitlam. After a lifetime of competitive
swimming and music, she attended
UBC to acheive her Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree. Dad, Roger, took
up ballroom dancing and she would hang out at the parties and
try to follow along. She learned how to follow before she learned how
to dance. Upon graduation, she was looking for a new hobby and
found 2Can Dance Company. She spent 1 year learning the basics of all
the partner dances under local instructor Ian Kirkconnell. When
Ian discovered the West Coast Swing phenomenon, he convinced her to
attend her first swing event, Seattle Easter Swing where she fell
in love at first sight with the dance.
