You cannot ever combine the nice です and the strong negative command 教えるな. It sounds very strange at least to the native ear.
Though I'm not clear on the dot part of the 「...でも」, the following sentences are all correct and natural.
ひみつだからだれにも教えないで。
ひみつです。だからだれにも教えないでください。
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
masculine, colloquial versions:
ひみつだ。だれにも教えるな。
ひみつだからだれにも教えるな。

LOL. i'm such a tard! i completely overlooked that; i feel terrible for doing so. i'll just ask questions there from now on!
i was going to put "watashi wa [name] desu". and have a elliptical pause with "but" because i wasn't sure how it would work otherwise. I suppose [desu. demo] might? not sure.
thanks, i'll keep that in mind! i forgot how to form complex sentences it's been a few years but i'll probably try to relearn it soon! thanks!
