    Our friends and neighbors, Sam & Denise Miller are two of the most dedicated professional dancers we have had the privilege of knowing. They always approach the skill of dancing looking for ways to  improve both their dancing and their instruction. At the same time, they are one of the very few professional couple we have met who love to just get out social dancing when they can. The combination of top tier professional dance ability coupled with the desire to enjoy social dancing is rare in the dance community. We are fortunate to have learned from them during the time they spent in the Tidewater Virginia area.

Our Student's Comments:
    Sam and Denise Miller teach a connection technique that allows dancers to communicate as gracefully as they can move. Utilizing body leading and lighter tension between partners, creates a more robust dialogue in which
leads are danced not forced. Incorporating the Miller's concepts into your dancing mechanics will facilitate greater clarity and harmony with your partner.

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn from you two. You guys are absolutely fabulous. Your level of understanding of dance and ability to dissect it and explain it is unsurpassed. You are also very nice and pleasant to be around, and very funny.

    I attended a couple of your recent workshops at Linda Stancill's Sapphire Ballroom and loved them! Thanks for coming up our way.

    Thank you for a most enjoyable and instructive weekend event We've been practicing our dances and working to get the language of dance into them. It really helps make the dancing so much easier. We discovered that when we remember to use the language of dance, our dancing is consistently better...instead of hit/miss. no more fake it
til you make it!!!

    We are proud to tell people we got our choreography from you guys (we always get asked who did our choreo). I really like the way you break it down, visually from the front AND back, and the way you introduce it at the beginning showing it done to music from beginning to end.  This is the most professionally done choreography video we've ever gotten.
Rhonda Diamond & Don Baker

    I wanted to let you know that you do an awesome job of putting the video together.  The picture quality is excellent and it's very helpful that you dance it both forward and backwards to the camera.  Also nice that you broke down each separate phrase.  While most people do this, many put two or even three phases together at one time which can tend to get a little confusing as you fast forward and rewind through the routine.  Possibly the best feature is the way you put it all together and show it danced straight through.  I have a side business doing photography and video editing so I know that with the proper software this can pretty easily be done.  Problem is that most people that are doing choreography don't take the time or spend the money to have it done, yet it is very helpful to see the continuity between the phrases and it is great to see the whole routine danced through.
Rick Miller

    Received your choreo for my newcomer gold comp in ABQ on labor day. Great job guys! You have a steady customer from now on. Thanks again, Don Anderson

    Hi Denise and Sam. I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed all of your classes this weekend. Every workshop was something that I feel that I can accomplish with some more practice, whereas I had been feeling as if I was at a dead end in my ability. I feel like I am emerging from a yearlong bit of a slump and you guys really helped re-energize me to want to dance more again. 

Thank you. Love, Ruth

 

    Thank you for some awesome classes. I'm starting to grasp onto the technique you and Sam have developed and I'm excited to check out the DVD I bought. It makes sense and I like that I'm not being muscled around. I truly admire the both of you for your teaching, performance and social interaction with dancing & with talking dance after class with all the students. Whew that was a mouthful.
Thanks a bunch! Linda

    These guys (Sam and Denise Miller) came to ABQ this weekend. They are the real deal. Incredible teachers, great performance, and they are so friendly. 

    Great teachers and lots of mechanics that no one teaches.
