More About Me
Looking at the Dance Proficiency section has me confused. I think I'm more than a beginner, but the competitions I've been in I have competed Bronze. That's what I dance mostly, though I do know a few Silver patterns. But the reality of a crowded dance floor and a different partner every dance limit what I can do.
I've marked both the dances I currently do, and some I'd like to learn. Currently, I dance mostly American Smooth and Rhythm, plus some Country, and am learning QuickStep. International interests me, especially Standard, but I need the right partner. I'd like to learn Lindy, maybe Argentine Tango at some point, but again, the right partner is key.
I'm primarily a social dancer, but would like to meet a regular partner to practice with. I enjoy pushing myself to learn new things, and a regular partner could help that along.
If I find the right partner, I might be interested in competition, I've done some in the past, actually kind of enjoyed the Arthur Murray Showcases when I was taking lessons there. They promote the competitions as a way for social dancers to focus their lessons and give them some urgency, and they actually organize their events for people like that. Most importantly, they finish the events with a dinner dance, which gives me something to look forward to and a reward for spending a day when I should be hiking or biking or skiing or snowshoeing inside in a crowded, noisy room.
The place I take lessons at now has much better instructors, and they sell the competitions the same way, but the organizers do absolutely nothing to appeal to someone who is a social dancer and wants to focus their lessons.
The dances I like most are Viennese, slow Waltz, Bolero, Night-Club 2-Step, Country (especially triple-2-step), EC Swing, Rhumba. I'd like to get better at all of them, plus polka, bachatta, WC Swing, maybe Lindy and/or Argentine Tango.
Dancing is only one activity I enjoy. I'm mostly an outdoors kind of guy, and very self-sufficient in most ways. I'm also pretty introverted, although that surprises people. Probably since I've been in jobs where I have been in front of people. I can function in a social space, but sometimes it's hard. Former jobs include Wine Steward at several top area restaurants (that was the best of them). Now I stare at "glowing rectangles" (computer screens) way too much every day. Money's better, but other than that....
I'm Looking For
I'm looking for a woman who is a good fit for me dancing, and has other interests as well. Dining, concerts, theater, hiking, biking skiing are some of my favorites. I'd love to get into horseback riding and sailing as well, but have not had the opportunity.
