Miles Cohen
Director of Back
Alley Blues
Editor of
SeattleBluesDance.com
Miles discovered partner dancing in 2002, the same year he moved
to the Seattle. Immediately he was taken by it. Abandoning a
normal sleeping schedule, other hobbies and the bulk of his vacation
time, he has since immersed himself in a life of late nights and achy
feet. With the remainder of his energy Miles works full-time
as a developer at Microsoft. |

Miles began teaching in 2007, getting his start as a tango
instructor for the8thstyle.com.
In 2008 he created the entity now known as BluesProgressions, where
at first he taught Blues to couples living in the Redmond area. In
2009, he moved his classes to Seattle and focused his teaching on
social Blues dancing, hoping to give something back to the
community that has helped feed his dance appetite for
so long.
