About This Site
Learn the vision behind JBMiller Swing — a curated digital platform for West Coast Swing education. This site blends premium content, stop motion animation, music theory, and personalized coaching into one immersive learning experience.
A platform built for clarity, creativity, and connection.
Hey there — I’m Joe Miller, and this is JBMiller Swing: a digital studio space where dance, music, and creative precision meet.
I’ve been coaching West Coast Swing for over a decade, with a focus on musicality, movement mechanics, and helping dancers build systems that actually stick. I’m also a sound designer and visual storyteller — which means this site is equal parts coaching lab, content studio, and creative playground.
Whether you’re here to level up your dance, get nerdy with music theory, or just see what a stop-motion swing pattern looks like — welcome.
What you’ll find here
Stop Motion Studio
Pose-by-pose analysis of classic WCS patterns using model animation. Think of it as dance anatomy class — but cooler and slightly more obsessive.
Pattern of the Month

WCS Music Monthly
Curated tracks, musical maps, and genre deep-dives tailored for social dancers and pros alike.
Peer Mirror
Submit your footage and receive coaching notes, timing adjustments, or full voiceover breakdowns — available via subscription or through the monthly raffle for socratic discussion in the Peer Mirror.
Blog & Teaching Philosophy
Articles on movement design, creative coaching, and navigating the overlap between dance, story, and sound.
