My husband and I contacted Campbell about 3 weeks before our wedding. We took 2 dance lessons from her. Not only was it fun, but our dance was a complete success at the wedding! She walks you through multiple options until you find the one that you like or can achieve. 10/10 recommend her!

Campbell was an absolute dream to work with! Oracle hosted a leadership event at Coopers BBQ, and we hired Campbell for a 45 minute group lesson. She was wonderful!! Not only was she knowledgeable, but she managed to get most, if not all, of our 40 guests/leaders country dancing (which was quite a sight to see). She made the whole process a seamless experience, and I cant recommend her enough, especially for corporate events!

My husband and I worked with Campbell for our first dance for our wedding. It was about 2.5 minutes and a medley of three upbeat, fast songs. We sent her the music in advance, and when we arrived for our first lesson, Campbell had already given it thought as to what options we had and gave us a few choices of dance style before diving into steps.We had little experience prior to our first lesson, and in five lessons, we left so amazed at the progress we made with Campbells teaching. Her teaching style is so fun, really patient and encouraging, and she truly cares about teaching the most she can in the time she has. We loved working with Campbell, and if you live in Austin, consider yourself so lucky to have her in the area! We now moved to SF and are hoping to find someone like Campbell so we can keep up our dancing.

Campbell was super nice and fun . She explained how to do certain moves in a way that a lay person could understand. You dont have to be an expert dancer to learn from her and to understand her. She is not high pressure or intimidating in any way. She helped my daughter and me learn a dance for my daughters wedding. She was creative and easy to be around. Her studio is a very comfortable place to dance. I recommend her highly and would take lessons from her again.

Ive known Campbell for a few years and she never ceases to leave me awestruck. In the dance world, there are good dancers and there are good teachers, but rarely do you find a perfect combination of the two. Campbell is just that. She isnt verbose, but finds precise analogies that make everything click. Not only is Campbell incredibly perceptive, but she caters her teaching style to your learning style. Above all, shes a firm believer in show, dont tell. You can expect her to avoid lectures and drill practice -- something that is a rarity in the dance world.On a personal note, its important to note that Campbell is patient, caring, and empathetic. She teaches dance manners and good partnership. In her house, she hangs a sign that says We dont make mistakes, we do variations. Expect to be amazed by Campbells experience, but theres no need to be intimidated. Campbell just wants to make the dance world a better place by changing her students lives every day.

Worked with Campbell for a first dance with my wife at our wedding. Went in with no partner dancing experience. On the very first lesson, Campbell had us doing a basic box step and a turn to a song we had pre-chosen. Throughout our lessons, Campbell was very enthusiastic, kept incorporating new elements without being overly complicated, and kept us feeling great about our progress. I felt very confident by the day of the wedding and many guests were surprised by our dancing abilities. Campbell is not just one of the best dancing instructors, she is one of the best teachers. Period.

Campbell is amazing. International teacher, multi stylistic mastery – shes a straight up dance genius.More than an incredible dancer, shes an outstanding teacher. She can see exactly where you are, and how to help you grow. Her lessons are fluid and comfortable at every level.After a year of lessons with Campbell, Im dancing to every song – because now people really enjoy dancing with me! Dancing also offers a doorway into a community – something we all need. Its a remarkable feeling, having a great time dancing with wonderful people.Shes so good, and dancing is so much fun when you learn the ropes. Its such a gift – and we are so lucky to have Campbell here in Austin. Seriously, do yourself a huge favor and start working with Campbell. Dancing can bring you so much joy – call her right now and schedule your dance lesson!Get movin!

Campbell was awesome!! Having zero experience at dance, my wife and I decided to learn swing dance while in Austin. Such a nice space and comfortable setting. She made us feel relaxed within minutes and had us actually dancing by the end of the hour. Highly recommend!! Thank you!!

I worked with Campbell for about 2 years. I was a student in her class at UT as well as a class assistant alongside her for a year and a half. Ive had experiences with Campbell teaching audiences of over 100 dancers as well as been one-on-one with her. This woman is not only an incredible dancer but I believe her teaching skills outperform any Ive experienced in my 18 years of taking dance lessons. Campbell is extremely knowledgeable and kind. Her years of experience have made her capable of teaching people at all levels. I have seen her make confident, skilled dancers out of people who have never stepped on the dance floor in their life.Campbells story is an inspiring one. She is a fabulous teacher, mentor, and friend. I would recommend anyone and everyone looking to improve on their dancing (or even just brewing an interest in dance) to seek out Campbell Miller!

My mom bought my husband and I two private dance lessons for a Christmas present and it was amazing! We both knew we wanted to learn to dance, but thought we might not ever be good enough to feel comfortable doing it in public. Campbell taught us some amazing basics (we came into it literally know nothing about swing dancing). After two private dance lessons, we definitely feel like we have some solid moves to take onto the dance floor. Campbell was very sweet and patient, and gave great instructions.

We hired Campbell for a corporate event, she taught our group how to two-step and line dance. We had a blast! We were all total novices and she made the lesson very approachable and engaging. Thanks, Campbell!

We hired Campbell to provide dance intruction at my sons wedding rehearsal dinner. It was the best choice ever. She was entertaining and the guests loved it. The following day, at the wedding, the rehearsal dinner group was ready to do the line dance she had taught us and a little bit of two stepppin.

Oh my gosh! We began this adventure with my husband (who was born with two left feet!) Campbell, with her patience and talents, worked with us to make us feel incredibly comfortable on the dance floor! Not only was she magical in making that Father/Daughter Dance perfect and special, she made us all look good for the evening. I now cannot get my husband off the dance floor at every event we attend with a band!

My dad and I took lessons from Campbell for the father-daughter dance at my wedding, and shes the best! Learning steps can be a frustrating process, but Campbell was so patient with both of us. She has a very calming presence, and shes so good at pinpointing what you need to work on, or walking through a step more slowly so that you really get it. My dad and I had a great time with her, and our dance was a huge hit at the wedding!

Such a wonderful experience! Before getting lessons with Campbell, I was not the best dancer! She really worked with me and took the time to help me not only improve my dancing, but also motivating me to try new dance styles and to become more comfortable while dancing! Campbell is by far the best dance instructor I have come across and I highly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to further their dance skills or to just try something for fun! I promise you wont regret your decision!

I hired Campbell of Austin Social Dance to lead a dance lesson for a group of short-term exchange students participating in a program at St. Edwards University. Most of the students were visiting the U.S. for the first time so there was definitely a language barrier but Campbell navigated it with ease and grace. I was truly amazed at how quickly she was able to get a group of nearly 40 students in-line and dancing! Not to mention, they all had a blast. I will definitely be hiring Austin Social Dance again :)

Best decision ever. Campbell is a great instructor. She is very patient and is great at explaining the nuances of the different dance styles. Her classes are fun and enjoyable. Great even if you are a complete beginner or intermediate.

Campbell has quickly become one of my favorite people! Her enthusiastic and PATIENT teaching method has helped me to feel better about my personal progress on the dance floor. She is so fun and I truly look forward to every lesson with her. Thank you Campbell for taking this beginner to another level!! You rock!!

We had the best experience with Campbell! We took 3 private lessons before our wedding and in that short amount of time we look and feel so much more confident about getting up in front of all our friends and family to do our first dance. As people who have never taken dance lessons before, she made us feel so comfortable and really made it a fun experience. We really appreciated her patience, attention to detail, and her genuine willingness to want to make it perfect for our special day! We will be sure to go back for more lessons if the occasion ever arises in the future!

Campbell was a great teacher over the five lessons we had with her. She used the entitreity off our lessons productively and we never felt like the time was wasted. She also was constructive in her feedback. She also was able to realistically assess what we could gain the most from the five lessons we had with with. The material she gave us to learn was never too much and I feel like we are equipped to tackle our first dance as a married couple as well as apply that knowledge in the future.Post-wedding brief: it went beautifully. We had people crying (Not because of how bad it went). The choreography was perfect for the dress even though Campbell never saw it. Thank you Campbell!

Learning to dance with Campbell has been a wonderful experience. Having had some earlier negative blues dance instruction I was surprised and pleased with the way Campbell approached this style of dance. Not only did I learned the steps but also how to be creative as a follow and how to hold my own space. I liked the different approach to Blues, incorporating Lindy-hop, west coast swing and even the waltz to make a more interesting dance. The way Campbell teaches encourages each dancer to find the best way to dance for themselves, teaching the steps is one thing teaching us how to move our own unique bodies is another. I would recommend any style of dance she teaches and look forward to more instruction when she is back in town.

My fiance and I recently took a dance lesson with Campbell for our wedding. She was so easy to work with! She took her time and broke everything down into segments so we wouldnt get overwhelmed. We now feel confident and ready for our first dance thanks to her!

Campbell has a unique ability to conceptualize the complex and simply transform it into a substantive and easily digested order – in other words “Now I can DANCE!!” – AND, it’s fun!! Her videos are clear and concise, and the results are virtually immediate. From there it only gets better. The moves in the routines are designed to either stand alone or blend with each other, like a special kind of puzzle – no matter how you put the pieces together, it always comes out right. The emphasis is weighted on personal creativity and confidence building. She will provide the tools and the “starter kit”, and then offer you the opportunity to put your own personal spin on it whenever you feel ready. I’m continually replaying the videos and each time I discover some nuance that either I missed or wasn’t yet ready to learn. If you’re tired of sitting on the sidelines and watching and wishing while others are on the dance floor having fun, then it’s time to “Connect with Campbell”, in person or by video.Becca’s Dad

Campbell is a wonderful, skillful teacher of dance. Her gifts are broad:-a deep understanding of how our bodies dance,-a breadth of experience in communicating this to many others, of many skill sets and many styles of communication-an intuitive grasp of how each one of us relates to dance and how best to provide us a window to grow as dancers-and perhaps most important, Campbell gives her heart to her teaching and her students. No matter where we are as dancers, she is our friend and we feel accepted and supported and celebrated!!I highly recommend her, for private instruction, for small and large group instruction, for instruction over a weekend retreat with your circle of dancing friends.She has the ability to create a community of dancers wherever she goes!

My wife and I have taken many partner dance lessons from Campbell over the years, in both group and private settings. This last weekend we took a private class to tune up our Nightclub 2-step moves, plus two wonderful group classes on partner dance movement and awareness.No matter what Campbell teaches, it is great. She can cover very technical points that make dance moves work smoothly, as well as exercises that at first seem very basic but which leaves everybody with an enhanced awareness of their dance and partnering capabilities.Ive taken classes on blues, tango, NC2S with Campbell and talked with her about other dance types. Ive told her: Campbell, if you for some reason decided to teach a class on the Bunny Hop, Id sign up for sure, because it would be an amazing Bunny Hop class that would make all my other dancing better somehow!

Campbell is more than just an apt and highly skilled dance professional, she is compassionate about her students and able to customize her approach based on the goals and needs of the student.In working with her in both group and one-on-one settings, I have found her enthusiasm and expertise infectious. I would highly recommend her to anyone from the beginner to the more seasoned dancer, as she is able to make dancing approachable and accessible to the novice, as well as critique and finesse the developed skills of the serious dancer.In addition, Campbell is one of the most dedicated and kind individuals Ive worked with. I have recommended her to many and will continue to do so for years to come!

Campbell is a wonderful dancer and is very well-rounded in any style of dance. But best of all, shes a wonderful, knowledgeable, and experienced teacher! (Not every good dancer is a good teacher ;))

Austin Social Dance does an amazing job helping newbies go from zero to hero on the dance floor. The instructor (Campbell Miller, whos super friendly and easy to connect with) tailors every dance lesson to your experience, style, strengths and deficiencies. Her flexible, individualized approach had a substantial influence on accelerating my progress. As did the relaxed, no pressure environment, which always felt like a little vacation from daily routines.Dance is a great way to make life better, and Campbells Austin Social Dance is the perfect conduit for ramping up your skills. For beginners in particular, this is a savvy choice for your dance instructor. But all that said, someone still needs to initiate the pursuit of your new aspiration by scheduling that first appointment..

Ive always considered myself to be a rudimentary dancer at best. So as wedding reception plans began to unfold for our daughter, my anticipation of the Father/Daughter dance brought with it significant levels of anxiety and trepidation. But a few lessons with Campbell Miller — ever-patient, encouraging, skillful and creative as an instructor — resulted in greater improvement than I could have imagined. When Emily and I hit the dance floor to the strains of The Way You Look Tonight, we knew all the right moves and were able to savor every special moment in the spotlight. Thanks to Campbell, Sinatra would be proud.

I have taking several workshop from Campbell. I find her teaching style beginner friendly but can still challenge intermediate dancers. Highly recommend!

Campbell was fabulous! My husband and I took 5 one-hour private lessons because we wanted to be able to dance at my nieces upcoming wedding. By the time of the wedding, we felt totally comfortable on the floor and had a fabulous time!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Campbells classes! I have taken many lessons with her in different styles over the years, and it is ALWAYS such a fantastic experience! She is a professional who has taught across the US and internationally, but her classes are approachable and fun at any level. Her teaching style is warm and engaging, and super clear, so whether youve been dancing for years or this is your absolute first time to try, you will walk away having learned something new and exciting. Campbell knows how to adjust her lesson to each skill level and learning style, and present ideas in a way that is easy to understand, and safe and fun to execute.Campbells joy for teaching and dance is infectious, and I am sure you will have a blast! Learning how to dance has changed my life for the better, and Campbell is a huge part of that!! Thank you!!!

I was taught by Campbell to two step, salsa, swing and tango. She is a fantastic instructor, patient, skilled and gifted in getting information across that sticks, all in a fun way. Im still using the skills she gave me years ago and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn how to dance.

Campbell Miller is not only an excellent instructor, but an even better person. She strives to make each lesson individual and unique to the student she is working with. She is very personable and can definitely turn your two left feet into dancing feet.

I cannot say enough good things about Campbell. She brings out the best in every student, regardless of their level.When I first started, her approachable style helped me forget my doubts, and with her extensive background in both dance and teaching, she always knows how to teach to my level of understanding.

If I could give Campbell six stars, I totally would. I took three of her classes at UT, and I can say shes the most knowledgeable, friendly, patient instructor you could ask for. Thanks in large part to Campbell, Im comfortable with probably a dozen different dances, and theyve really come in handy at weddings, parties, and outings with friends. Thanks for everything Campbell!

Campbell and her amazing social dance classes are what got me through college. Whenever I had a bad day, going to Campbells class erased every trace of frustration and replaced it with creativity, motivation, and joy.What really sets Campbell apart from any other teacher is her ability to take any complicated dance and make it so that everyone understands how to dance it. Whether you have 2 left feet or have been dancing forever, youd enjoy her class.She gives each student the time and space he/she needs to learn in their own pace. She also provides endless resources to help you practice, ask questions, and meet other people interested in the same type dance youre interested in.Finally, she also understands when youre going through a particularly hard time and provides as much assistance as shes capable of. Ive known her for years now and I have nothing negative to say about her as a teacher, mentor, or friend. Shes basically everything you want to have in a dance teacher.I will always look back onto her classes with complete happiness. Im lucky to have had the chance to learn from such an incredible teacher.

Campbell is an amazing teacher. She is able to take you far beyond where you think your abilities can go through her dance lessons. Through watching you, and dancing with you, and even roll reversal, Campbell can find where the hiccups are and help you smooth out those wrinkles so you are confident on the dance floor! Also, her knowledge of an array of dance styles is super helpful, and she can help you learn to cross over moves from many of those styles into the next. I couldnt recommend her enough.

Campbells private lessons are still vivid. The experience is awesome in both her technicality, dedication and ability to teach. I would definitely take more today!

Taking lessons with Campbell is always satisfactory. She handles big groups wonderfully keeping everyone interested but also handling individual needs with detail. My private blues lessons with her where inventive and left me with amazing feedback and excercises I continue to use for my everyday practice. She has a great eye for detail, always managing to iron out the kinks in my dance and dancing with me to get the feel of those steps which I couldnt make work. Ive seen her dance blues, tango and waltz and shes on point with all of them.

Campbell is an amazing teacher and a wonderful human being. Ive had the privilege to take several private lessons with her over the years and Ive learned invaluable lessons every single time.I think her lessons would be especially beneficial for anyone wanting to learn how to dance at their own pace in a relaxing environment with someone wholl guide with patience, kindness and just the right amount of helpful pointers.Campbell is also incredibly knowledgeable about all things self-care so if you - like me - often feel rushed by life and stressed out, she probably has an idea or five to help you approach life with more ease. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Campbell is probably the best dance instructor Ive had the pleasure of working with, and thats saying something. Her ability to specifically keypoint what exactly needs to be done to better the dance is second to none. I would highly recommend working with her.

Over the years, Campbells genuine warmth and extensive teaching experience helped me feel relaxed, welcome and safe to learn many new dance styles. Her many skills include how to make every lesson enjoyable, building my dance confidence and competence by knowing how to introduce, break down, and practice new dance moves without moving too fast or too slow. Even as a beginner, I felt empowered to become a better dancer, as her teaching style has always consistently first validated what I was doing well, followed by clear, gentle and specific feedback about how to improve. And as an intermediate dancer, Ive appreciated how Campbell still makes every lesson count, by providing just the right amount of skill building and encouragement.

Campbell is a true teacher. Her way of teaching encourages learners to experiment with a dances basics, play with the music, and keep dancing when you make mistakes.For beginners: she breaks down the dance into simple, easy-to-follow footwork and shows you how to spice it up with turns, twists, and changes in rhythms.For the experienced dancer: Campbell challenges you to break the boundaries of a single dance style and blend in what you know from others. This creates crossover dances that enable you to take spins from Country Two-Step and use them in Waltz songs and use Salsa moves in West Coast Swing.I personally recommend Campbell for all dance related matters.

Campbell is no doubt one of the most patient, kind hearted, and FUN dance instructors Ive ever had. Ive actually been looking for someone like her in the Dallas area to take lessons from as Im not in Austin anymore.As a humble teacher, its amazing to see her dance - she is a talented, experienced, and inspiring artist when you see her take the floor with a dance partner - and shes heavily recognized in the social dance world. Her skill set makes her that much more valueable as a local Austin resource for private lessons.I had the privilege to take instruction under her as a student at the University of Texas, where I got to see how she taught people of all levels - people starting with and without a natural rhythm! Its amazing how fluid she is between all of her students. While Ive seen some students get frustrated with other instructors, she has a gift to make all of her students immediately comfortable and not afraid to try. She creates an inviting and safe environment for those who are more timid or those who are not yet completely confident in their dance skills (yet!). And if youre ready for more, she will push you to learn as much as you can!

Campbell is dancer of truly stunning skill, plus one of the finest teachers of any kind that Ive ever encountered. Her classes are fun and valuable, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Austin Social Dance helped teach my mother and I how to dance for my wedding. The instructor did a great job and we totally nailed it at the reception. Highly recommend.

Campbell is so patient and wonderful to learn from! She worked primarily with my parents in preparation for my wedding and I joined for a couple private lessons with my dad later on. As long as I can remember, my dad has not particularly enjoyed dancing in public settings. In fact, it became somewhat of a family inside joke. But now he is the first one to hit the dancefloor! My wedding reception and others we have been to after that have been particularly fun, as I have made lasting memories partying it up on the dancefloor with my dad. Thank you, Campbell and Austin Social Dance!

I walked into Campbell’s social dance class two years ago without having any prior dance experience, social or otherwise. I never really thought that I was or could be a dancer, but after a few minutes in the class, she had us all laughing and dancing along together to a mixer.In each class, Campbell did three things that in my eyes made her an exceptional teacher. First, she has a knack for breaking down movement in a way that we all could understand, even those of us without any background knowledge. She had us saying the rhythm aloud for those who couldn’t hear the beat, she could simplify movement in a way that everything became a series of steps, and she explained style through her own movements and through descriptors.Second, she is very knowledgeable. She knows the dances that she instructs inside out, and she can answer any questions you may have about leading and following, break down a certain move, or show you variation on that move if you’re curious to learn more. If you ask her about the origins of a certain dance or the style or the spirit with which it is danced, she can tell you everything from where the dance came from, how it has evolved over the years, and the different scenes of social dance in different cities across the world. In sum, she knows a lot about dance and she knows how to communicate her knowledge.And third, she cares. She cares deeply about dancing and wants others to see and experience the beauty of social dance. This permeates through in everything that she does, from her smiles throughout her lessons, her kindness and patience when you are trying to learn something knew, and her enthusiasm and joy when you finally get it. Her joy is infectious.After two years of instruction, I can now dance styles ranging from east and west coast swing, salsa/bachata, tango, blues, waltz, country, and more! I’ve met the best people along the way and deciding to take lessons from her has been one of the best choices that I’ve ever made.So for whatever reason you may want to learn social dance, be it for one-time events like weddings, to learn a little more about social dance by yourself or with a partner, or to improve at a certain dance style, Campbell can cater to what you need and break it down for you, step by step. You won’t find a better teacher in Austin! Or anywhere else for that matter.

Campbell is one of the best dance teachers I have ever experienced! I had her as a teacher while I was at UT and I knew I had to go to her for help for my now Husband and I’s first dance. She’s so passionate about dancing and experienced. We had the option to do a choreographed dance or learn lead follow moves. We went with the latter and also had some areas of choreography in the dance. She was prepared for our sessions and always had ideas for us but ultimately we discussed everything and my husband and I got to choose the direction we wanted. She asked for our opinions and vision and truly help tailor to fit the dance to our personality. She’s picks up on things that may not be so smooth and is able to correct them by providing the right cues and aids. After only 4 sessions, we had learned so much and were truly confident. We got so many praises and we’re told that our dance was one of the best that’s some of our guests have seen. After each session, we did recap videos of everything we learned so we can look back and practice. It was such a great experience and Campbell is so fun to work with! 100% recommend her especially for first dances!

I had been dancing for many years but carefully avoiding dancing to the Blues. Then I went to one of Campbells workshops. Campbell did three things that transformed my experience: First, she introduced us to dancing as a dialogue and created instructive and engaging interactions on how to communicate clearly with dance movement, with equal emphasis on following and leading. This free up my creativity. Secondly, she provided precise, gentle and indivudualized feedback after seeing each of us dance a tune -- she was encouraging and clear. Thirdly, she played the most danceable Blues and gave us lists of tunes and resources. Thank you, Campbell. for your intelligent, well organized and lovely approach. Now I love dancing the Blues.

Campbell is such a great dance instructor!!My fiancé and I wanted to do a one-to-two dance lesson crash course before our wedding (along with my mother for the mother/son dance) and Campbell was super helpful!She took the time to listen to our wants/concerns, gauge our current skill level, and was able to come up with two different styles that suited both us all very well! She was positive throughout the entire process and only provided constructive criticism (she’s so friendly and personable, it’s tough to even want to call it criticism).The studio itself is taught in her home, which made it very comfortable and inviting. She also would also give different options on style/technique and only went with what we felt comfortable with and was made sure to accentuate our strengths while working to address or avoid any of our weaknesses.I would HIGHLY recommend using her and hope there’s a time in the future that we could use her services again!

My wife and I just celebrated our first anniversary, which had us remembering the hectic lead up to the big day. Easily one of the best parts of the preparation (maybe even better than the cake tasting!) was Campbells dance instruction. Im not at all a confident dancer and with everything else going on we didnt have tons of time to devote to dance lessons, but Campbells instruction turned a portion of the wedding I was nervous about into something I looked forward to and fondly remember. Campbell took the song wed chosen for our first dance (True love will find you in the end) and came up with a routine for us to learn that was fun and pretty. Throughout the lessons, Campbell adjusted the routine to our level and knew the potential pitfalls to watch out for (eg stepping on the dresss train). Really was a great experience!

Even if you didnt know what a great dance teacher Campbell Miller is, the moment you walk into one of her classes youll feel welcomed, full of good spirits, and excited by what you are about to learn. Her dazzling smile and great energy tell you this is a safe and fun place.Blues dancing is mostly what Ive learned from Campbell (and I know she teaches a world of different social dances). Coming from Argentine tango with its emphasis on elegance, when I looked at some Blues dancing I got an impression of a quite relaxed, anything goes style. From Campbell, however, even as my partners and I enjoyed ourselves in movement, we also quickly learned important dance and partner connection principles -- things that not only make Blues dancing more successful, but apply across other dances as well!As a dance student of many years, many styles, and many teachers, the teachers who really stand out and make a lasting impression, and influence my dance the most for the better, are those who warmly convey the attitude that, Here are ideas that can make your dancing even better, and heres how you can begin putting them in your body. Teachers who, instead of tearing down your flaws, build you up into the dancer you want to be. Campbell Miller is that kind of positive, effective dance teacher.--David

Positive and amazing! She is by far one of the most excellent teachers I have ever had the privilege of learning from - I continue to utilize the knowledge she bestowed on me from her classes!

Thanks to Campbell Miller, I went from being someone who could never move even in a club, to becoming hooked onto social dance... and learned about myself in the process. (And I say this ad a grad student in Engineering, back in UT after 3 years of work. Yes, I learned it late, but I did thanks to the experience )About Her Teaching Style:- Its always light hearted and casual. I learnt dance as a social interaction that released stress rather than create it.- A much more gender-equal environment: Campbell breaks archaic stereotypes, encourages the ladies to ask men to dance as well, on occasions shes made us exchange the lead-follow roles to realize what our partners experience, and invites you to enjoy dance in whatever role you choose.- A feeling of comfort: Partner dancing can at first uncomfortable when you are dancing with total strangers. Her simple basic tips and etiquette go a huge way towards making sessions more comfortable for everyone. (Not to mention more enjoyable for your dance partners if you choose to use them outside as well!)- Her review videos are the best. :) Really helps when trying to remember something that you did 8 months ago.To Campbell,I stepped into your social dance class at UT a year ago as a graduate student in engineering just trying to get out of my comfort zone. Ive wanted to say Thank You! for the confidence and ability to move to music that you have given me.You gave me the confidence to literally dance with anybody during a Tango lesson at the Russian house when you asked me to dance with you and I went from being terrified to realizing that great dancers actually make you feel more comfortable.Thank you! You are an amazing teacher, and an amazing human being!

Ive known Campbell for years but never taken a private from her until recently. Her teaching skills are great for newbies and old hands alike! Here are specific examples of how she easily tailors a lesson to you no matter your skill level:Exhibit A: I showed up to her house after simply saying I would like to practice either blues or cross-step waltz - lets be clear that she knows I both lead and follow - and we smoothly got from my goals to practice.Exhibit B: Language - a small deal for many, a big deal for some. I told her that I needed to say front, back, front, back more than 1, 2, 3, 4 to understand the move I was doing and she adjusted her language for the rest of the lesson.Exhibit C: One of my goals was to transition from one step to another. She showed me one transition and I said that just doesnt feel like me - heres how I was planning to do it, but I never quite got it right. She then took my own crappily-formed idea and helped me make it a reality! This is major, yall!Major props to her for emulating all the different follows I may encounter during social dancing. That is *key* to helping someone move from dance lessons to dance socials, and so few people teach it!Above and beyond notes: She noticed when my brain was full and helped me write notes on what I learned so I could work on it afterwards. She also helped me find people to practice with afterwards, since practice is key to retention.14/10, would recommend.

Just a quick thank you. With deployments and training its been tough to keep up with dancing but I danced with my mom for the first time at my wedding (too shy growing up) and she was beaming the whole time and afterwards and people asked her the entire night how many hours we practiced (which we never had obviously). Taking my wife to 2 step when we dated was I think how I tricked her into actually dating me haha. And of the 200+ hours of courses with 3 degrees, I consider the skill I learned from you 1 of the 6 useful skills I actually learned from school.Hope all is well!

I have known Campbell Miller for about two years now, through the Argentine Tango community of Austin, Texas. Initially I used to get really nervous inviting her for a dance, since I was very sloppy back then, with just couple years into barely starting to learn Tango, and Campbell is a professor of social dancing at the University of Texas at Austin, who was already a pro by then, not just at Tango, but probably any dance you can think of. You name it, and Campbell is an expert professional at that particular dance style. But, as I danced with her, I saw what a nice attitude she has. Even though her caliber was much above me, every time we dance, she makes me feel so comfortable and brings out the best in me. Soon afterwards, I started taking a series of private lessons of Argentine Tango with Campbell and her dance partner, Ricardo. And that series of private lessons (I think about 10 or so) was a real turning point in my dance life. It just boosted me in a very short period of time from someone who couldnt even walk properly, to someone, whom now-a-days, a lot of people have been regarding as well into the intermediate level. I myself can feel the difference. Campbells and Ricardos pedagogical approach is so smooth, that one wouldnt even realize how much his/her abilities are sky-rocketing. Campbells depth of knowledge, teaching style, and friendly attitude motivated me to work hard and practice the things she taught me on my own, and even with her at practicas and get constant feedback. My confidence went up, and the following year, I participated at 6 different tango festivals and marathons at 6 different cities in the US, including some of the best in the country like Portland, OR, Seattle, Los Angeles etc. Incidentally, we ran into each other at Seattle and danced too, and that was indeed a heavenly experience. I have many more tango festivals and marathons for next year (2017) already planned both in the US and in Europe, and probably even a visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I owe all these primarily to Campbell and also Ricardo. It hurts my heart very deeply to know about her recent injury and resultant hiatus from dancing. I miss my teacher, Campbell every single moment I am practicing or dancing at a milonga. I wish her a very fast recovery and cannot wait to see her back on the dance floor, dancing and teaching. For those of you, who havent yet taken a dance lesson from Campbell, you are being deprived of some real good thing in your lives and you shouldnt do any further delay. I wish you all the best and good health, Campbell !!!RegardsSambuddha Chakrabarti (Sam)
