More About Me
Dancing is my passion. I have had many years of private lessons with a variety of teachers and have attended numerous group classes, workshops, and dance camps. While I appreciate and pay attention to good posture and technique, I am a spirited dancer who enjoys flair, drama, length of stride, energy and speed where appropriate. My teachers and partners all tell me I am a superb follower, unusually flexible, and very light and easy to lead. I naturally smile when dancing and tend to laugh when a mistake is made - dancing to me is more than just artistic expression; it is an expression of my joie de vivre and pure fun. However, music is my inspiration, and the quality of music affects my enjoyment. I play piano and some violin and guitar, and love to sing along. I enjoy most forms of music, from classical to electronic, and it plays a major role in my life. (Although I must admit, so do my dogs and my grandsons.)
I would like to maintain and improve my skills, especially in quickstep, Viennese Waltz, and tango; I tend to find fewer partners interested in the higher levels of these dances. I also want to learn more Argentine Tango, Lindy, Balboa, and country dances and would be happy to find partners that specialize. I am cheerful, kindhearted, very patient with my partner, and I have lots of energy and stamina. I have never sat out a dance due to fatigue and recently danced over 7 hours straight at a jazz festival - mostly fast swings, quicksteps and Balboa. However I am a many-faceted person and can be equally immersed in a slow, dramatic Bolero.
I can be flexible about where, when and how often we dance. I am also flexible about my partner's skill. Energy and enthusiasm, and a love of moving to music, are sufficient for social dancing.
Currently I dance on a couple of formation teams. I would be happy with one regular partner who "does it all," but am equally fine with several part-time partners or specialists in one or a few dances. I would like to avoid extensive driving, but will make an exception for a partner who is a good fit. I'd like to attend more social dances with a partner, at Rossmoor, at senior centers, at dance studios, at clubs - any styles of dancing.
I'm Looking For
Leaders, do you want an attractive, talented partner who can keep up with you and keep things interesting? Are you keen on improving and challenging yourselves? Do you like to have fun? That's really all I need, but I will detail a wish list, just in case the perfect leader for me is out there: I would love a partner with (1) lots of energy and enthusiasm, (2) a willingness to learn enough steps in quickstep and tango and other dances to keep it interesting, and (3) a desire to maintain correct posture and technique, or at least lead in a fashion that I can maintain my own correct posture and technique. I would also be happy with partners who want to concentrate on just one dance or dance category, like Lindy, tango or the swing dances in general. Having a well-trained Argentine Tango partner would thrill me! I enjoy performing but do not miss it if I am having fun on the dance floor. A good natured partner is important to me, and geographic proximity would be a huge plus. It would be nice, too, to find someone who enjoys energetic free-form rock 'n' roll dancing - I'm still 17 at heart.
