Margie Tuttle is a Champion-level West Coast Swing dancer originally from Gaithersburg, Maryland. Her movement background began with ballet, tap, and jazz, but West Coast Swing quickly became her true passion and professional focus.

Now a full-time dance professional, Margie travels nationally and internationally teaching, competing, judging, and DJing at events around the world. She has trained extensively through Rising Star routines and routine intensives, developing a strong understanding of performance structure, partnership dynamics, and musical interpretation—elements that continue to shape her teaching.

In addition to West Coast Swing, Margie has experience in a variety of partner dance styles, including waltz, cha cha, two step, night club two step, salsa, and hustle. This cross-style foundation supports her versatility, musicality, and ability to adapt movement and connection across different rhythms and energies.

Currently based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Margie is an active leader within the Chattanooga Westies community. Her teaching style is supportive, clear, and detail-oriented, with an emphasis on strong fundamentals, efficient movement, and musical awareness—helping dancers feel confident, capable, and supported at every stage of their journey.
