Lila Faria and Dillon Arevalo: Artists in Residence June 23-30, 2025
MHB Takeaways Practica
This practica will act as a unique post-Mile High deep-dive. Lila and Dillon guide you through concepts, moments, and inspiration they took from the Mile High Blues workshops so you can apply it to your dancing. It's a chance to revisit material you loved, unpack anything you didn’t quite have time to process, and explore it with fresh insight and guidance.
After the Practica, join us at The Rose's home for a cookout (address will be shared separately).
This Practica will be tailored for an Intermediate and Above skill level. If you're not sure if this workshop is a good fit for your skill level, please reach out to us at

About Lila and Dillon
Lila and Dillon have been dancing Blues for a collective 25 years, and other styles of partner dance for over 35. They both carry education degrees from prestigious universities, have taught dance as a pair across the West Coast from Washington to California, and continue their training as active members of the larger global Blues dance community to this day. Together, they have studied with some of the most prominent Blues dance instructors. As a teaching pair they focus on intertwining connection, partnership, and playfulness with the rich and complicated history of Blues dance.
Individually, they each have experience instructing both locally and nationally. Dillon has taught dance and choreographed performances for high schools, college campuses, and dance communities across both coasts in the U.S. Lila has been recognized on a global scale, judging national-level competitions and teaching internationally in cities like Philadelphia (USA), Vancouver (Canada), London (UK) and Lisbon (Portugal). They are excited to bring this wealth of knowledge and experience to your scene!
