Open standard dancer

Newly divorced, semi-retired, active on the modern jive freestyle circuit and competing in the ballroom Sunday League with some success.

Just a man looking to dance and have a good time.I am excellent at breaking down steps and working to improve dancers,adding that extra touch to stand out on the dance floor. Gold and gold bar teacher at major studio in southern California.

Over the years created a system of teaching the major ballroom dances by interrelating steps of dances to make easy learning.Then adding personal style to ones dancing.Still work with small groups,but mostly retired from full time teaching.I have fun dancing and meeting people.Some travel,getting back to going to dance events.I will help judge sometimes but not as much anymore.I have never stopped learning new techniques and truly believe dancing keeps you young and healthy.

Long story short, I've always enjoyed going out to clubs—and I still do. The difference is that I used to be the guy standing on the sidelines, watching everyone else dance and have an amazing time. After a while, I got tired of sitting on the sidelines and decided it was time to do something about it.

I signed up for dance classes, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. I quickly discovered that social dancing is on a whole different level—it's more fun, more rewarding, and a great way to meet amazing people. Cheers to social dancing!

I'm currently training in Konpa, Kizomba, Urban Kiz, Salsa, and Bachata at EJ Dance Studio in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. My goal is to become highly skilled in Latin dance and eventually open my own dance studio, where I can help others experience the same confidence and joy that dancing has brought into my life.

Looking for a practice partner in the Toronto (East) area who has successful Latin American competition experience.

I am athletic, very committed, rhythmical, hard-working, and non-smoking. I weigh in at 160lbs, 5ft 7in (170cm). I am a passionate Latin American competition dancer. In my last 18 months in England I trained with Mark Lunn (London) and Andrzej Mialkowski (Northampton). Since moving to Toronto, I have trained at Ol-Si dance sport with Oleg Yedlin, Valentin Kolesnikov, and Antoaneta Popova, and more recently with Milena Koraleva, as my pro partner.

I started competing in LA in March 08 and competed successfully during most of 2008/9 and were easily within the Top 12 in the Senior Latin English chart. During 2010 I took a break from competitions and eased my way back in during late October for a few comps before the British National. In January 2011 I won the Senior Pre-Am Latin (Champions of Tomorrow) at Blackpool, and in June 2011, Stars of The Future, confirming that I am the top Senior Pre Champ in the UK, and making the quarter finals of the British National and Top 60 in the British Open, and the final of the British Matiponal in 2012 before retiring from competitions.

Besides all that, I am a keen social dancer and frequent the usual places from time to time. Happy to work with a professional or amateur, and happy to perform/demonstrate and possibly compete at Pre-Champ/Champ level.

Ametuer - 8 years of dancing (on and off)

I've danced various styles from salsa, bachata to modern jive etc...

I competed for many years in International Standard. My former partner recently decided to retire from practicing or competing in Standard and I'm looking for a new partner for practice and, perhaps, competition.

i have danced modern jive for two years , and really enjoy learning ballroom , i am easy going and believe dancing should always be fun.

I love dancing and although it is a social thing for me I am passionate to do it well and happy to spend time practising.

Dancing a little more than one year; prefer frequent practices to learn ballroom dance, especially Latin rhythm dances. Don't know where it will lead but eager to explore and see where it goes for me with dance!

Proudly Latina.

With the heart in the hips, when dancing.....

I travel a lot to Tucson, Arizona and I love going out for a good dancing night... just social, friendly dancing...

Me.

Started Shag Dancing 1993, collect Beach Music.

I love to dance and have few competition experience on International standard. I love to practice and see the improvements I/we make.

I am a professional looking to meet someone who is not into games. I enjoy many things, including: social dancing, ballroom dancing, and other activities. I am not necessarily looking for a long-term relationship, but would be open to one.

Been taking privates with a special instructor who focuses on technique, foot position, weight changes, and awareness of what my follower is doing.

Getting close to 'confident' with cha-cha

Much improved in salsa and bachata to the ''don't bore followers'' level

Bored by merengue's simplicity. I'll dance it if my follower wants to

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.

My passion for the Argentine Tango, led me to study in Buenos Aires and continues to inspire my travels. A foundation in theater, ballet and jazz with over 20 years of dance experience, I was recently invited to join a premiere performance dance company. Additionally, I am an instructional assistant and event co-host.

I have been learning Ballroom and Latin for six years, with no previous experience in the sport.

I have both my Ballroom and Latin bronze.

I currently dance 2-3 hours a week plus regular social dances

I would love to progress further,

I also want to learn Argentine Tango.

I’ve been dancing ballroom and Latin for about 8 years but just started learning American Smooth for a few months.

I was a ballroom instructor for 15 years. No longer an instructor, I now enjoy social dancing for fun and excitement. I most enjoy the smooth or standard dances for their flow of movement.

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.
