Welcome to Dallas Dance Festival and Midnight Madness!

Meredith was introduced to Lindy hop in college and immediately fell in love with partner dancing. From swing, she ventured into Latin social dancing and eventually into ballroom where she spent 12 years teaching professionally. During that time she had the pleasure of competing Pro/Am with her students in American Smooth, American Rhythm, and Social styles as well as competing professionally in American Smooth. Since moving to Texas, Meredith has developed a love for Two Step and enjoys spending an evening on the dance floor.

Pam Miller fell in love with country dancing in 2019. She started competing right away and has won and placed at multiple events with her dance partner and husband, Aaron Miller.  

Together with Hardwood Hearts, a group geared towards uplifting the dance community, Pam teaches country dancing at different universities and schools in the DFW area. She also has judged and taught at several dance events in Arizona, California, and Florida.

Beginning her dance training in ballet, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop, Stephanie found her love for partner dancing in 1999 while attending Texas A&M University. While country western will always be her first love, she quickly found a passion for all the rhythm and smooth dances. Stephanie has been teaching for over 20 years, has danced for several professional organizations and productions, and is thrilled to be back in DFW. 

 David Miller is inarguably a Texan, through and through! Born and raised in Houston, David led the exciting life of an amateur bull-rider-turned-deputy-sheriff, and is now a full-time dance instructor. While on the rodeo circuit, David’s visits to local nightclubs sparked a desire to join the dance crowd. He began taking dance lessons in 1994 and soon began teaching part-time and competing in the Country Western circuit. He came to Go Dance in 2014 with nearly two decades of teaching experience and numerous national and world titles under his belt. David presently competes in the Country Western and West Coast Swing national circuits professionally and with students. He enjoys working with students toward their Showcase performance goals as well as teaching students who want to improve their social dancing.  His sense of humor (and rodeo-clowning experience!) shine through in David’s high-energy teaching style. As an instructor, David approaches lessons with a keen sense of technique and enforces the importance of posture and the dancer’s core as the center of movement. A student’s smile is as important to him as their posture! He truly finds his joy in dancing, and is always grateful to see the happiness dance brings out in his students.  Certifications & Awards:  2015 UCWDC Couples Diamond Division 1 World Champion  2015 UCWDC Couples Crystal Division 1 World Champion.  2011 UCWDC Couples Open Division I World Champion  12 UCWDC Pro/Am World Championships.  2008 Couples Open Division II World Champion  2008 Crystal Intermediate World Champion  You can make it shorter if you need too!
