ABOUT OUR GUESTS | Miles Van de Wetering (He/Him) and Katia Rar (She/Her)
Katia has been dancing socially and competitively since 2015. She loves to help dancers unlock their inner creativity while building up their technical ability. A DJ and instructor local to Seattle, she is known for her athletic approach and her love for shaping and patience in dance. She can be found DJing sets around town most weeks.
Miles is a west coast swing instructor and competitor based in Seattle, where he teaches weekly at Salsa con Todo and at his own studio in Magnolia. He won the Rising Star Showcase Division at the US Open last year and currently leads the Rising Star tour standings for the 2026 season. Known for workshops that balance solid fundamentals with a sense of humor, Miles focuses on connection, musicality, and making social dancing feel good for both partners. Catch him teaching at Retaliation Swing this year.
