More About Me
Seeking a Dance Practice Partner
I'm looking for a dance partner who wants to practice with purpose. Not someone interested in spending most of the session chatting or casually running through routines a few times. I mean the kind of person who understands that real progress comes from repeating the same eight-count until it finally feels natural, clean, and effortless.
What I Bring
1. Reliability – I show up on time, prepared, and ready to work. If we schedule studio time, you can count on me being there.
2. Constructive feedback – I'll give honest observations without criticism or ego, and I appreciate receiving the same.
3. Patience – Improvement takes repetition. If something requires fifty attempts to get right, that's simply part of the process.
4. A growth-focused attitude – My goal isn't to impress anyone; it's to improve. I value partnering with someone who feels the same way.
5. A positive practice environment – The studio should be a place where mistakes are expected, experimentation is encouraged, and laughter is welcome. No drama, no defensiveness, and no taking corrections personally.
I'm Looking For
What I'm Looking For
1. A woman who dances West Coast Swing, Ballroom, Latin, and Nightclub and is interested in regular, structured practice sessions.
2. Someone who communicates clearly about technique, timing, connection, and movement.
3. A willingness to experiment and troubleshoot. Let's try things slowly, quickly, from different angles, or through creative drills to find what works.
4. A shared commitment to consistent practice, ideally 2-3 times per week in the Portland area (North/Northeast is ideal).
Age is genuinely not a deciding factor for me. What matters most is reliability, maturity, and a desire to improve. That said, I suspect my ideal partner may be 60+, simply because life experience often brings a refreshing lack of ego and a strong appreciation for the value of showing up and doing the work.
