MB Training provides opportunities in community education & and professional development programs, within an outreach and values-oriented philosophy. Manitoba Training & Kali Tribe Academy was launched in 2016, but represents the 30+ years of award-winning innovation in Arts, Cultural and Fitness Education started by Tes Miller with South Seas Dance (1984).
The Millers founded South Seas Dance Company (1984), XCOMPANY (1996), AcroYoga Manitoba (2014), Manitoba Fitness Professionals and Ph.A.T. Camps (2002) and have worked with over 100 various Recreation, Arts, Education and Community Agencies throughout central Canada, teaching over 15,000 participants. In the 80s, former Philippine National Dance Company professional dancer, Teresita Miller founded the South Seas Polynesian Dance Company in Winnipeg, She instructed and toured various forms of Polynesian dance, including Hula, Tahitian and Maori throughout central Canada and some states. Ed Miller Sr., a professional former Filipino film actor, founded Showmasters, producing Canadian tours of Filipino film and pop music artists throughout 70s-80s. Their son, Eddie, grew up in the studio and backstage, working for the family companies and in various secular performing arts/teaching/entertainment projects into the mid 90s. In 1990, Eddie Miller founded and directed/co-directed performance dance teams while attending bible college, which debuted at several large youth events, opening up for popular Christian music artists. In 1995, he started the Honor Guard Performing Arts Team, a men's & boy's mentoring-based dance company. Building upon martial-arts-influenced dance, parade style flagging, HGPA presented a more masculine-martial style of movement for concerts and parades for crowds up to 50,000 (March for Jesus, MB Stampede, Red River Ex). After hosting men's/co-ed dance workshops around MB, HGPA soon expanded into ON, QB and once even performed on the Mexican Presidential Palace grounds. In 1996, after building a new team of leaders, programs and performances were offered at public schools, studios, community centres. In 2002, he created XCOMPANY, offering dance programming in rural Manitoba. In 2015, he joined his mother's work to provide his expertise and training here.
