Because of Mike and Elli's playfully creative, careful, and classy instruction, I have been swept past learning the steps of dance to stepping into being the dance, from the heart.

Elli began partner dancing in May of 1998 at the teen center Warehouse 21 in Santa Fe, NM and fell in love with this art form! Initially learning then teaching swing dancing, she later also dove into Argentine Tango. Elli has since taught, danced, performed, and competed in these styles and in places as far flung as Argentina & Sweden.
Mike started partner dancing in a ballroom studio in Santa Fe in 1997, teaching all ballroom styles before focusing on swing dance. His dedication to teaching and growing the swing scene in Santa Fe is remarkable. He is also passionate about Argentine Tango.
