More About Me
I started ballroom dancing nearly 30 years ago at Cubberley (in Palo Alto) and Stanford and then took a very long break while I concentrated on modern challenge-level square dancing (as both a dancer and caller). Three years ago I got interested in ballroom again and am currently taking three classes a week (2 group, 1 private). At best I'm a bronze-level beginner (west coast swing, east coast swing, nightclub two-step, and cha-cha are my best dances). I'm most available during the day on weekdays or some weekends. My goal is to become a better social dancer while having as much fun as possible. To me there's no point in dancing if it isn't fun; but to have fun it also helps to feel competent!
I'm Looking For
I find that it is difficult to apply the patterns and techniques learned in class on the social dance floor without additional focused practice to build muscle memory. There's only so much practice you can do by yourself...
I'm interested in a partner who is willing to practice together so that we can each improve our technique and lead/follow ability, review videos from group classes, or learn new moves from professional videos in a friendly, non-judgmental environment. It's also possible that we could take private lessons together in the future.
