11. Hallie Kuperman

Hallie has been busy teaching people to dance for her entire life. She is the owner and founder of Century Ballroom and its sister space, HaLo, both of which act as the city’s epicenter of the salsa, swing, waltz, lindy hop, and tango dance communities (as well as many others). She also owns The Tin Table restaurant, yet still finds time to teach, sip champagne, build community, and ride around town on her beloved Vespa. Seattle: drinks at Tavern Law, Cal Anderson Park, any performance with Cherdonna & Lou.
