About the founderS
Aaron & pam MilleR
The hearts behind Hardwood Hearts. Their dance journey started years ago, but they met each other in 2019 and quickly became dance partners both on and off the floor. Since then, they've competed, started teaching together, and built a mission around one thing: creating an inclusive country dance community where everyone feels welcome. From hosting events and competitions to teaching around the country, they love helping others connect, grow, and have fun through dance.
