Artist Bio

Lila Faria (she/her) is a Seattle-based blues dance instructor and organizer. 

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.

She has acted as an organizer and instructor for over eight Seattle-based dance events and recently started teaching in cities across the Pacific Northwest including Portland (OR), Vancouver (BC), and Arcata (CA). She was the second-place winner of the Solo Blues and Partnered Jazz Dance Competitions at Waterfront Blues Festival 2022.

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.
