When I dance my soul awakens; kidnaps my body on an adventure of expression. Movements so stylish yet grounded by a fortress of love. Fearless love only to be revealed in a gentle breeze of passion caressing the air and exciting the wind. Long suffering, then joy as new movements are shed by mistake yet masterfully sown. Simply, movements that create laughter. Movements that give birth to joy. Movements that garner praise. Movements that weave unconditional love.. Movements that smile at this wonderful life.. I thank God for allowing me to live because the danza is and will continue to be the tapestry of my delicate humanity...............Our souls are on the same uneven plane. The music plays calling us out to dance. Unbridled flash, and grace asks us to represent them. Our bodies move while the dance floor trembles. We do our dance not making history but do what comes natural only to the true dancer........ La SalseraBonafida was born to dance. As her lead made various requests with dynamic hand movements she would turn,spin,twirl,and move like no other dancer has witnessed. When the clave and beats met her precisely at every turn, every spin,every twirl, and every movement no audition was necessary. The melody of the music and her movements became so intertwined that a new form of beauty came to light as she danced. Salserabonafida was as beautiful as she was graceful; and so graceful she was indeed. La SalseraBonafida connected with her partner and immediately sensed the message he was trying to deliver. She gregariously followed his every lead; but it was not a lead in the traditional sense, but rather a rumble, a love affair, a rendevouz,a party, a seperation, and a coming together. Her movements were so sexy, so elegant, so athletic,so majestic, so wonderful,so flashy, so graceful,so smooth, and so innocent that I had to ask myself where is my SalseraBonafida?...Where is my SalseraBonafida?

I have been taking dance lessons for 3 years now. I love the social aspect and challenge of the sport. I am open to learning all styles of dance. My favorite so far are salsa, east coast, west coast, and nightclub two step. My goals in dance are to become an overall better dancer and more confident. I work hard and always try my best to put into practice what I learn. Most of all I aim to have fun.

Open standard dancer

Am competing at Level 3 Latin and New Vogue and Standard.

10-dancer of about 14 years. Recently moved to the Austin (TX) area from New York City. Looking to get back into the competitive dance scene. My recent trainers are Ina Jeliazkova, Olga Tsikalyuk, Frantseska Yordanova, to name a few.

I've been dancing since I was 17. Although I do the Waltz and Continuity, I prefer the American Rhythm and East Coast Swing, although I am open to learning others. At one time I was proficient with West Coast Swing, but haven't had a partner for it in a number of years and have lost most of it. When I was doing West Coast it was my favorite. Before my wife's dementia we danced 4-5 times a week. I have had lessons at Fred Astaire, Arthur Murray and several independent studios. Although I am 88, most people say I appear early 70s and some even guess 60s. As I mentioned, my wife has dementia. She knows me; she sleeps sometimes 20 hours a day or more and rarely leaves our apartment. She has suggested that I find a new dance partner.

Hi, my name is Richard. I would like to find a dance partner that is 60's plus like myself. One that I could also date and maybe turn into a meaningful relationship. I am 6' tall, 170 lbs. at 10.1 % bodyfat. I love to dance. I have been social dancing for 30 years. My favorite music to dance to is Rockabilly, 50's Rock'n'Roll, and Traditional Country. One of my hobbies was skydiving (1800 jumps ). I have some real stories to tell about that. Also, I was into racing formula cars for 20 years. My passion is weightlifting. I enjoy having a great healthy body that I am very proud of. (see photos). I love to put on a bathing suit and walk in the surf at the beach. I would love to have a partner to do that with. A lady that is also in good shape and is proud of her body. I want to get out there and do things but not by myself. I am a kind and gentle person with so much love to give.

I've been ballroom dancing for about 11 years now, first doing pro-am competition, and more recently competing at the amateur level (in International Latin). At the pro-am level, I've competed in the Latin, Rhythm, and American Smooth styles. I did fairly well competitively, especially with Latin and Rhythm, and have won a fair number of scholarships in some of the larger competitions. On the amateur side, I competed at the pre-champ and open levels in Latin. My partner and I won the pre-champ division in our age level, and then made the final in open Latin at the USA Dance national championships in 2010. Prior to ballroom, I spent about 18 years doing ballet, tap, jazz, and modern. I love everything there is about dance--I think it's part of my soul, and who I am. I want to keep growing and improving in this sport/art, but most of all, I want to have fun doing that!

I've been told I'm a talented dancer. I hope that's true (I'm always full of doubts, of course!), but I know I'm a hard worker, very devoted to dancing, and I'll work my butt off getting reading for a competition or performance. I've had coaching from some of the best in the business, and I'll be forever grateful for the insight, support, and advice these wonderful coaches have given me.

Professionally, I'm a scientist, and have my own business doing consulting work in the biotech world. I'm pretty athletic, I run a lot (and used to compete in running too), lift weights, and do yoga regularly. I'm also a pretty serious mountain climber. I've climbed both in the United States and in South America in the Andes, and I hope to climb Mt. McKinley in Alaska in the very near future (it's on my Bucket List!) I also have what I think is a pretty unique hobby--once I summit a mountain, I do a little dance on the top. I think it's quite possible that I hold the world record for a high altitude samba (20,700 feet on Chimborazo in Ecuador). If you know anyone who's done the samba at a higher elevation than that, I don't want to hear about it.

Oh yeah, I also love dogs and have a great Labrador retriever named Newton. He is truly the best dog on the planet.

I have always wanted to take dancing; but it's better with a partner. ideally learning and practicing so I can get out there on the dance floor at social events. who knows, maybe someday compete. we'll see

Danced on and off for 20+ years. Mostly absent last 8 years. Would like to get back into dancing and interested in learning many of the patters for each type of dance. I am patient and considerate, always a gentleman and respectful of others.

Proficiency level of my dance partner doesn't matter, beginners are welcome. I tried changing the selection to "I don't care" but can't get the choice to make it into my profile. Dance skills 5, computer skills 0!

I/'m an avid social ballroom dancer with both american and international styles under my belt. I also have done argentine tango, hustle and wcs for over 10 years. Dancing is for fun, my styling is very good but I prefer not to compete as it becomes work. There is nothing better than good partner connection.

I used to dance salsa regularly before you-know-what stopped everything. Since the end of the lockdown, I've never really got back into it, as all the classes I used to enjoy never seem to have restarted. I danced tango for several years, so I know how much it helps having a regular partner for both motivation and making progress. Salsa is my first love, though. My interest is purely in social dancing (classes and events) rather than competitions or performing. If that matches your outlook, I'd love to hear from you.

I really enjoy partner dancing. Since 2020 have gotten a bit rusty, would like to get back to some regular practice sessions and social dances. I have taken some private lessons, but generally go to group classes.. Some of my favorite dances are East Coast Swing, ChaCha, Rumba, waltz, foxtrot (definitely need to get the rust off this one). I am open to learning new dances ... if it is dancing it is fun :-)

High level in hustle and other night club dances. Frequent competitor both in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Also showcases. Have brought my American rhythm and smooth back up to silver or gold level in order to compete in 9 dance. Currently taking about 6 hours of privates a week and practicing a similar amount. I'm serious. Life doesn't last forever, I started out in this way to late and am doing everything I can to catch up. My wife has no interest in dancing but fully supports my dance activities. Prior to covid I attended Toronto Salsa/Bachata Congress, Las Vegas Open, and numerous local events such as Emerald Ball but now lessons, practice, and tea dances.

Love to dance for relaxation, fun and move with music as well as learn new steps together. If agreed, could take dance lessons together. Would like to dance once a week if possible.

I like cha cha, swing, foxtrot, night club 2 step, west coast, samba. Most kinds of dance music.

I have been country dancing, 2-step & line dancing for over 30 years. I have taken a few swing dance lessons. Places I dance at are Montana's, Cowboy Palace, Borderline events, The Ranch, wineries in Thousand Oaks, Camarillo and Oxnard.

Competed while in University. Looking to continue to dance socially with good dancers.

Have been dancing professionally in the past, did win the German Championship in Ballroom Standard as well as German and World Championship in Ballroom Formation Standard. Have done my trainer licenses in 10-dance. I have had a 8y break now and would like to go back to it - so my skills are a bit rusty, but I am fit and have been going to the gym 4-5 times per week. Ideally I would like to return and do Show-Dance or would love to compete in Salsa and prepare to dance Championships internationally.

Updated November '25

My profile states 3 years experience. THAT experience is continuous. I have been dancing off and on since the Saturday Night Fever days including a period of continuous dancing between the mid 80s and the mid 90s.

It took me a while to discover the greet function. Now that I know about greets, I've sent several greets to women who appear to be 'close enough' to events I can attend. I've used greets to avoid using tokens. Ladies, if you respond with some kind of greet that indicates possible interest, I'll happily use tokens to send you an email.

I'm searching for women who might be able to dance in Kingston or Pine Bush in Ulster county, at a number of places in Dutchess, Putnam, or northern Westchester e. g. Mount Kisco, or in Danbury. I picked those locations because I know of monthly mixed ballroom events there.

I am a social dancer trying to improve.

I'm VERY confident leading rumba, east coast swing, hustle, and American tango.

I probably don't bore my followers dancing American waltz, fox trot, west coast swing, and cha-cha.

I'm 'working on' samba, salsa, merengue, and bachata.

I would like to learn Viennese waltz.

I admire people who dance Argentine tango and Paso Doble.

I have been dancing ballroom and latin on and off for about 20 years but did not have a regular partner until 2019 and our progress was interrupted by covid restrictions. Unfortunately a foot injury now means my partner can no longer dance. I would say I am a proficient social dancer in ballroom and latin. I have been dancing modern jive for about twenty years and I am very good at it but go regularly to the same venue so do not need a partner for this but am very willing to int0rduce a potential partner.

Professional dancer and choreographer with 31 years of experience in International Latin and International Standard (10 dances). I hold a university degree in Choreography, officially recognized in Europe. I spent many years living and competing at a professional level in Japan, representing the country in major dance events. While my primary expertise is International Latin, I also have a strong technical background in International Standard. My goals include professional competitions, show performances, teaching, and choreographic projects.
