More About Me
My yoga teacher invited me to a free dance party at Fred Astaire about nine years ago. I was instantly hooked - dancing is so much fun, and I really wanted to learn how. Initially Cha Cha was my favorite, but I've become proficient at Waltz, Tango and some Foxtrot. For fun I also enjoy East Coast Swing, Merengue (my own version), Rumba, Salsa and Bachata. After trying a few studios, I found an independent teacher, and have been focusing on social Salsa, ECS, WCS, Bachata as well as ball room dancing for the last three years or so. I've done a few competitions, but not really my favorite thing (although I am open to it).
About six years ago I started taking WCS group classes and although I liked it, it took some time to figure it out. Since then I've worked a lot with my teacher and now absolutely love it. I go out socially with her to practice, and we often get many compliments - plus the occasional person asking me if I am a teacher (that's a nice feeling).
Most recently started to learn Argentine Tango, and Lindy Hop.
I'm Looking For
I absolutely love going out for social dancing, especially to live bands. WCS, ECS, Cha Cha, Rumba, Salsa, Bachata, Hustle, etc, I'm not the greatest at all of them, but I can hold my own. I really love it when there is some blues or other song that most people don't dance to, and then I get the whole dance floor to ourselves!! I'm somewhat spoiled getting to dance out with a professional, but that isn't often enough to satisfy my dancing urge... so I'm hoping to meet some ladies to go out dancing. I'm good with a group and open to meeting up for dance socials if you invite me, but really want to find someone that wants to go out for the evening for some serious one on one dancing and fun. I'm very patient with beginners, so it's ok if your are just learning. But I really want to meet someone that is a good dancer (or working on it) - someone that can follow and also someone that can shine on their own - it's really cool to freestyle and see what can happen dancing together. If you can WCS, that's a real plus!
I'm single, so if I met someone here for dating or a relationship, that would be a plus. I'm ok for traveling on the west coast of Florida, even Orlando or Miami - so if you know a good venue with live entertainment and some dance floor, I am interested.
If you are a female professional and available for a social arrangement, I could be interested in having you be my dance escort. Not really looking for another teacher (although you never know), but it's really fun to be able to dance with someone that is a pro sometimes. I find I learn a lot from practicing with a pro in the real world; helps to translate what I learn from lessons onto the real dance floor.
