Introduction
Providing live performance, group and one-on-one dance classes! Devon Near- Hill is a teaching and performing artist, currently serving as Co-Director/Co-Founder along with Rachel Farley at Denver School of Social Dance. Her diverse movement repertoire spans belly dance, ballet, salsa, modern dance, capoeira, lambada Brazilian zouk, kizomba, urban kiz, Alexander technique, and tango. ---- Hi! My approach to dance instruction is about working both inside out and outside in! Classes combine both technical and somatic based exercises based on the student's needs. I try to make dance as playful and accessible as possible! With over 15 years of dance training and immersion, I have witnessed the joy dance brings to our lives! Belly Dance: This dance is a great low-impact way to get in touch with your body! I began training in Salimpour based bellydance technique at the age of 12 and by 15 was in a traveling dance troupe named Sattya. In 2018 I worked at Los Angles Belly Dance Academy and was immersed in Egyptian Style. I began teaching and performing with Stefanya at events and festivals in Southern California. Brazilian Zouk & Lambada I fell in love lambada and Brazilian Zouk in 2014 and have since been exploring its depths. I then produced & hosted LA’s only Lambada & Zouk social, ENERGIA in 2018. That same year I began collaborating with Jerry Lai to continue expanding his pedagogy, Deconstructing Zouk with the goal of creating versatile and connected dancers. To cultivate freedom of movement and safety in social dance for followers, I also created The Efficient Follow curriculum available. Together we went on tour to teach both programs in London, Washington DC, Warsaw, Paris, and are now teaching online! In 2019 I became certified as a Judge for the Brazilian Zouk Council and scored my first intermediate competition at Reno Latin Dance Fest. Salsa I began dancing salsa at the age of 12! I offer classes in rueda casino, on 1 and on 2!

Devon was incredible. I believe mind blowing is what my guests said. Devon was an unbelievably exciting addition to my party that had everyone involved and in awe. Besides stunning, Devon moved in ways I didn't know the body could. The communication prior was amazing, the coordination was flawless and her professionalism was 200%. I would highly recommend her for any occasion. 10+ stars.
