Lila Faria
Blues Dance Instructor
About
~
Lila Faria is a Seattle-based blues dance instructor.
​
Lila first encountered blues dancing in 2015, hidden in the back rooms of New York City bars. After 8 years of training in synchronized skating and ice dancing (2004-2012), she fell in love with the partner dance, pursuing learning opportunities across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. She finally settled down in Seattle (2018), where she launched Lila's Living Room Lessons, took a day job as a Montessori educator, and spent her nights supporting the local blues dance scene.
Lila approaches blues dancing as an opportunity to connect body, emotion, and history. Through her teaching, she hopes to create environments where her students feel safe, supported, and empowered to be their true, authentic selves.

"You'd be hard pressed to miss the enthusiasm, excitement and joy that Lila Faria has for and brings to blues music, dance, it's many forms, history, and expression.
Like hip hop, blues crosses many domains and Lila does not minimize the importance of blues identity, idiom, and history in her lessons. She is very thorough, very dedicated and very fun to work with. I believe she is capable of teaching people of any or no dance background, that everyone seeking dance lessons with Lila will come out better for their experience. I will definitely be coming back for more one-on-ones and any series classes she has to offer."
