More About Me
I always loved dance, but stopped at a young age under the wishes of my parents. After a decade of loving dance from the sidelines, I'd like to pursue ballroom dancing. As cheesy as it sounds, dancing makes me feel alive in a way few other things can. When everything is grey and blurry, dance briefly sharpens my world.
My situation's a little weird. I love all kinds of dancing, but I started very late, maybe 14 or 15. I'm only starting to take it really seriously now, at 18. At this point, I don't know how practical it is to aspire to great heights, but dancing is a real passion of mine and I'm not willing to give it up yet. I've had a couple teachers tell me that I have SOMETHING for dance, something that draws people's eyes or that captures the story of a dance. My main ballroom teacher (who is insanely good, like Blackpool levels of good, I don't know what he's doing in this small town) stopped me the other day and told me that I should go professional, and that if I don't it would be "wasted talent." God, I don't know how to describe how much that meant to me.
I'm not sure what my final aspirations are. As grateful as I am to my teacher for encouraging my potential, I'm not sure if a simple gift and passion for dancing can overcome years of lost training. But I'm not giving up just yet. I'll be a student at NYU, and I want to make dance one of my top priorities during my years of study there.
I'm Looking For
A partner who is seeking to take ballroom dancing extremely seriously, at least for a short while. I'm putting down my absolute ideal in a partner -- however, I understand that my situation is unique and my ideal highly unusual, and I'm more than willing to speak to any interested parties regardless of how well they match my "ideal"
Absolute Ideal:
- 17-26
- Willing to spend a large amount of practice time
- Willing to travel or is currently located in a Dancesport "hotspot" (such as NYC or Chicago)
- Willing to explore modern or contemporary dance, if only for fun or cabaret performances
- Similar skill level and ambitions, or willing to wait for me to catch up
