More About Me
I am currently training in a dance team with a coach who uses Skippy Blair’s unit system. Her focus is alignment, relationship and rhythm as opposed to memorization of step patterns. Moves become an alphabet that I can spell into patterns in any dance language, instead of memorizing salsa language, swing language, two-step language separately. I have been training with her for over a year. Her method is conducive to fusion dance. I am limited in the time I can devote to it at the moment but I do wish to be a competitive amateur in the next 5 years and continue with my coach developing a dance community in Orange County CA. People of all ages are starving for dance venues and training in the respectful complementary relationship between partners that ballroom dance highlights. My dance teacher has some interesting analyses to share about the healthiness of relationships between her wedding dance couples based on the way they dance. I also am fascinated by the therapeutic integration benefits of dance.
I am a massage therapy student and massage has a lot in common with dance if done well.
Basically, I believe dance should be a freeing holistic experience and not enslavement to step patterns. It should be fun and a chance to make a real healthy, positive connection with partners.
I'm Looking For
Partners who can be flexibly available to practice and have fun dancing a variety of ballroom and Latin, not just at dance studios or in private but like at the beach, at street fairs with live music etc. I have a movement coach but I need a partner to help me practice using what I’ve learned between classes and become more comfortable with the step patterns. I do need my partner to be respectful of my coach’s training even if he chooses not to train with her also. However, I will be open to any feedback and new experiences my partners wish to share.
Please no smoking of any substance, the smells distress me.
I am also open to dating. Please note I will not limit my dance partners to the person I am dating or even to my spouse if that be the case. HOW I dance with my significant other compared to practice partners would be different.
I am serious about getting good but I will make sure it is a fun experience, too. 🌞
