More About Me
Hello there! I've been dancing for fun since my monthly cotillions starting at age 7, where I learned the basics of swing, waltz, and cha-cha. West Coast Swing was my thing for a hot minute during my teen years, but from my 20s until recently I've been focused on solo dance styles (ballet and burlesque) with some group choreography thrown in on occasion. I've performed both ballet and burlesque many, many times and absolutely love it!
I'm interested in getting back into partner-style dance just for fun. My husband of 10+ years is uninterested in dance, so I'm hoping to find somebody I can dance with regularly to improve my form and technique.
The styles I'm most interested in are swing, waltz, and anything Latin, but I'm open to other styles.
While I'm an experienced dancer, I'm still at a beginner level in partner dance because it's been a long, long time since I've done it regularly. But I learn very quickly and am a very in-tune follower. I live for that feeling of being in harmony with my dance partner and hope to bring more of that into both of our lives!
To note: I am an ardent feminist and liberal with a curious, critical mind. I appreciate these qualities in others — especially the ability to examine and question the relationship of gender to dance.
I'm Looking For
*I would prefer to dance with a female-identified leader, but am open to male-identified leaders
*Ideally my partner would be at a similar level to me — experienced in dance, but still a beginner in various dance styles
*Married folks or people long-term relationships are ideal, as I am *only* looking for a platonic dance partner
*Similar age range to me (35-45) would be preferable
*While I'm open to a friendship developing, I'm also fine with keeping the relationship focused solely on dance
My ideal person would be available to meet for 1-3 hours a week to take public dance classes together in the San Diego area. I'm specifically looking for a dedicated partner to avoid the discomfort of partnering with strangers with groping hands or leery gazes — which is to say, I'd like to avoid rotating partners.
Depending on how things go, I'd also be interested in going to purely social dance events and just having fun!
