About Mile High First Dance

Devon Near-Hill

Owner

Devon is new to Zola, but not new to the work of helping couples feel comfortable on the floor! She is wedding dance instructor, teaching and performing artist, and Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Denver School of Social Dance. Her movement background spans Brazilian Zouk, Lambada, salsa, tango, kizomba, ballet, modern dance, capoeira, belly dance, and more. She is a judge for the Brazilian Zouk and Lambada World Dance Councils and is known for specific, body-aware instruction grounded in connection, comfort, consent, and adaptable movement. Devon is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Expressive Arts Coaching and Community Building at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Lessons adapt around how you learn and move best without judgment, pressure, or assumptions about roles. Devon’s adaptive teaching approach is also informed by workshops she has taken with DanceAbility International. Mile High First Dance welcomes LGBTQ+ couples, neurodivergent and differently abled learners, and partners of all genders, orientations, cultures, bodies, ages, and experience levels.

    Devon is a treasure and her teaching is impeccable

    Working with Devon at Mile High First Dance was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her communication style is prompt and clear, making every step of the process feel effortless and well-organized. Devon's expertise as a dance coach truly shines! She has a gift for meeting couples exactly where they are and building choreography that lets each pair's unique personality come through. Devon cares about people; she teaches with real compassion and patience, helping partners work together as a team rather than just learning steps. The result is a simple and creative first dance where couples feel confident and capable on the floor. I cannot recommend Devon enough! Any couple who gets to work with her is lucky.

It depends on your goals. Two lessons can create a comfortable entrance, ending, and foundational movement. Five lessons provide time for personalized choreography and polish, while ten lessons allow for greater detail, multiple dance styles, or parent and wedding-party dances.
