More About Me
I have been dancing International Standard and Latin for about ten years, with the bulk of my training coming from teachers in the greater New York City area (NY City, northern NJ, and southwestern CT), where I lived until 2002. For the past five or so years, I have concentrated on Standard, at which I competed at the pre-champ and championship levels in the Adult and Senior I age divisions. My most recent coach is Polina (surname omitted), a well-known professional based in greater Baltimore. I have had the extraordinarily good fortune to have danced with three very talented amateur partners over an uninterrupted period of five years; I hope my luck continues! Since my recovery from knee surgery in August 2006, I have turned to social ballroom and latin, to salsa, and most of all to Argentine tango. While I will undoubtedly want to return to competition eventually (with the right partner!), at the moment I am interested primarily in dancing socially.
I'm Looking For
Currently, I'm looking for a partner in the greater Washington DC / Baltimore area who is either (1) a good all-around social dancer who is well read, well informed, and an a good conversationalist; or (2) a skilled tanguera interested in practicing and receiving coaching in Argentine tango from local and visiting teachers. Eventually, I will be seeking (3) a competition partner who is interested in training and receiving coaching in International Standard, with a view to eventually competing and/or performing. Ideally, I would like to be able to compete at the pre-champ or championship level, as I have done in the past, but I would also be willing to return to syllabus -- I have sufficiently few proficiency points that I would still be allowed to compete in gold -- and work back up to open-level material.
