About Dax

---

Dax Mills has been dancing since she was 5 when her mom put her in ballet classes because “she was clumsy.” As a teenager she was crowned Miss Majorette of America. Later Dax went on to earn an MFA in Dance from CU Boulder and has performed her blend of dance/theatre in places like NYC, Edinburgh, Milan, Montreal, Seattle, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Santa Cruz. 

Now Dax’s performance needs are largely fulfilled through comedy. 

To earn a living, Dax has taught Pilates for over 30 years, and since Covid out of her garage. Dax was originally trained by The Pilates Center in Boulder, and she has studied all over the country, including from 2000-2003 in NYC with the late and great legend, Kathy Grant. 

Dax also developed a comprehensive Pilates teacher training program that she has taught on and off since 2008.

Dax teaches Worldanz and has three wonderful teenage children and a fantastic partner and dog.
