With over 15 years of professional teaching experience, Mike has taught nationally and internationally across Europe and the US, developing a reputation for making WCS fun, approachable, and inspiring for dancers of all backgrounds.

Teaching Philosophy

“Not all instructors are created equal. It’s rare to find great dancers who are also truly great teachers. My workshops are designed to be engaging and entertaining, but you’ll be surprised by how much you actually learn — and everything I teach applies directly to the social dance floor. If I can’t lead it socially, I won’t teach it. WCS is for everybody.”

Who Mike Teaches

Social Dancers – Learn skills that make every dance enjoyable, with a focus on leadable and followable movement.

Technical Dancers – Explore the finer details that unlock the secrets of WCS, helping you grow as a social and competitive dancer.

Versatile Dancers – Discover how WCS adapts to different music styles, with influences from Lyrical Jazz, Tango, and Street Dance, so you can develop your own unique style.

Mike’s mission is simple: to make West Coast Swing accessible, exciting, and rewarding for everyone. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your technique, his step-by-step approach will give you the tools to grow, connect, and shine on the dance floor.

We try to keep this workshop as role balanced (leader/follower) as possible so book early to avoid disappointment.
