I have one year of competitive ballroom, but over ten years of ballet. I am a bronze dancer but am looking to improve quickly. I’m very dedicated. I am looking for a lead to compete with

I’ve been dancing ballroom for nearly 20 years, and I still find myself drawn to the studio like it’s a second home. There’s something about the repetition, the refinement, the quiet focus—it’s where I feel most grounded.

Salsa, though, is where I breathe. It’s not just the rhythm or the movement—it’s the way it settles into your body and lets you speak without words. There’s a calm in it, even when the music is fast. A kind of joy that doesn’t need to be loud.

I dance for the connection. For the shared smiles, the spontaneous moments, the way a good lead or follow can turn a simple song into something unforgettable. Social dancing is where I come alive—not for the spotlight, but for the people and the pulse we create together.

Looking for dance partner/leader for social ballroom classes and/or private lessons and events in and around the West Yorkshire area. I've been dancing around 20 years (West Coast Swing, Blue's, Jive etc.) but only ballroom dancing for around 12 months, but I love it and would like a partner to continue learning and dancing.

I started training with some of the best instructors in the area in the standard ballroom style back in 2010, and have been lucky enough to receive some coaching from some world class coaches as well on a fairly regular basis. My passion is international standard. I've had a few competitive partners over the years, but have not been dancing seriously since 2017, when I had my first child. I will be looking to get back into dancing again likely sometime next year, taking regular lessons and ideally practicing once or twice a week with an amateur partner.

I am on the tall side, slim, and athletic. I would love for my partner to love the dancing as much as I do in the sense that he wants to dance and train hard simply for the joy of dancing, and takes pride in achieving true quality in the dancing even more than just winning competitions or getting results, although of course that is important as well. Because of my current family commitments, I'd want to stay fairly local for competitions and practice, but I miss dancing tremendously and would love to find an amateur partner to train with again.

Looking for a lady that loves to dance. Willing to travel wherever to meet the right woman. I am even willing to relocate for the right lifelong partnership. Have done no competitions as of yet. If the right partner shows up then I would certainly entertain, maybe even welcome, the idea.

Love to dance and won't quit till you do. Am familiar with all typical ballroom dances - Smooth and Latin. I do know Salsa and Hustle as well. West Coast Swing is one of my favorites. Foxtrot and Bolero would be my other two favorites. Just now starting to learn Argentine Tango. I can see the possibilities are endless, but can't really judge the dance till it becomes 'effortless' - and I'm not there yet.

I have not yet concentrated on any one dance or style in particular, so I am not yet excellent at any of them. I do, however, know enough to get out on the dance floor and hold my own as an advanced level amateur dancer. I have been trying to become a well rounded dancer with a good lead for now - while waiting on the partner. I am learning and having lots of fun while doing so, but my dancing could be so much more with a good dedicated dancer.

More than willing to concentrate on any one particular dance/style if partner has a preference, but I do hope to find a partner that likes to dance everything.

Self employed with a flexible schedule.

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.

What can I say, dancing is my passion. When I am not dancing I am dreaming about dancing! West Coast Swing is my favorite, but country 2-step & line dancing are a close 2nd. I'm currently teaching WCS, and country partner & line dances a couple times a month and hold a social dance once month. I also teach at the local country bar. Looking for a partner to level up with!

Hi - I started dancing classes in January 2018 for a few terms, and post Covid I started again in 2020 - but its been somewhat sporadic, due to the need to find a dance partner and fit in classes.

I am a beginner looking to learn a range of dance styles - ballroom and Latin - and have fun learning.

I am happily married - but my wife isn’t interested in dancing, hence the search for a dance partner.

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.

I have been training seriously in Mambo/Salsa/Bachata for the past seven years as part of my renowned instructors' up and coming team. I dedicated ten years of study to classical ballet and am a ballet instructor. I am in search of a partner who is open to creating routines/material in which I can utilize my mambo training while incorporating the strengths acquired over years of foundational ballet study. My goal is to perform and compete. I want to do something different, blending the best of what the various aspects of my training have to offer.

Hello Gentleman / men: Thanks for stopping by my profile .... I am a natural-borne AND professionally trained A. Murray dancer, both, have often been told to be "delightful" to dance with ....Uncomplicated, social, easy going and fun loving, told to be "pretty" and always the l a s t one on the dancefloor. Any man reading this who wants to dance with a slender, attractive, cultured lady, please reply, you won't regret it .... promise :)

I just want to get better. Been on 2 salsa dance teams. Been on 2 swing dance teams. Been on 1 hip hop team. Won 5 Jack and Jill competitions at Alaska Salsa Festival. Won a local Salsa competition in Seattle.

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.

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.

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

I have extensive dance experience in ballet and modern dance from years ago. Recently, I’ve taken up salsa and want to enjoy the dance outside of the studio to perfect it on an advanced level. I'm also open to dancing other dances as well.

I am involved in everything (work, music, civic, politics, art, home, family, travel) but want to dance more. Very musical, quick study, I have a non-conformist groove. Big smile, bright blue eyes, flirty. Not too serious, but love to do everything well. Wide variety of musical taste and dance styles, some private lessons, mostly genetic talent. Both my parents danced. We danced with Dad as kids after dinner. I grew up thinking everyone danced after dinner...

Current Pursuits: WCS, Tango, Mid-Century Modern Architecture preservation, Chopin's Ballade No.1, house siding repair, a triathlon, design guidelines, Abstract Impressionist Painters, tequila

I have always longed to learn to be able dance. I have always admired people that dance with grace and skill. I have often felt clumsy and self-conscience at social events because I was unable to dance. Part of my obstacle is that I have never had a partner that was interested in learning to dance or had the same desire to dance that I have.
