Max Kepler

Max began classical training in dance at the age of three, and has been partner dancing since 1989. She began to study Argentine tango and lindy hop in 1997, while living in Los Angeles. Since then, she has been a regular member of the tango and lindy hop communities in L.A., San Diego, Eugene, and - most recently - Seattle.

Max has danced socially in over a dozen major cities and in three countries. As a result of her extensive travel for dance conferences, exchanges, and festivals, Max brings with her an ability to connect on the dance floor at a level that transcends regional variation in a particular dance form.

Max has been teaching social dance to students of all ages since 2001. Her teaching style is highly interactive. In small and mid-sized classes she gives individual attention to each student, as well as providing feedback to the group as a whole on technique for connection, footwork and timing. She incorporates elements from her training in ballet, jazz, tai chi, and rehabilitative fitness education into skill-building warm-up routines and instructional games.

In Max's classes, development of an individual's dance ability is the goal, and the method is guided cooperative learning amongst students, gentle elastic connection between partners, playful exploration of possibilities, and plenty of fun!
