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've been learning International Standard and Latin for about a year at a local studio. I have some training in other dance styles from several years back (jazz, tap, ballet). I'm interested in learning and improving as much as I can. I would like to work towards performing and competing.

Started dancing at Arthur Murray in March 2017, trained with individual instructors for ballroom (American Rhythm and American Smooth, International , West Coast) and group lessons for Country. Dance socially. Performed in showcases.

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 began ballroom dancing about 15 years ago and consider myself a solid bronze-level dancer, although I’m comfortable following a more advanced lead. I haven’t focused heavily on advancing through additional levels simply because finding a compatible dance partner in my area who can confidently lead at my current level has been challenging.

That’s what brought me here! I would love to meet a dance partner who, like me, truly enjoys ballroom dancing and would like to have someone to share it with. While I would be very comfortable dancing with someone more advanced, I’m equally open to a partner who is less experienced than I am. Skill level is not nearly as important to me as having a good connection, enjoying our time on the dance floor, and being willing to learn and improve together.

I’m a good follower, enjoy learning, and would be happy to continue developing my skills alongside the right partner. Most of all, I miss the enjoyment and connection that comes from dancing with someone who loves it as much as I do.

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!

Started Shag Dancing 1993, collect Beach Music.

I dance Standard, Latin, and Smooth, and I'm looking for a partner to practice with a few times a week so we can grow together. My goal is to compete in Amateur Novice, Pre-Championship, and Championship categories. I’ve been dancing Standard and Latin for almost three years, am deeply passionate about ballroom, and am highly dedicated to private training.

I am a fun active guy who is serious about increasing my skills in Latin Dancing especially in Salsa, Cha Cha and Bachata. I have Great Natural Rhythm and can quickly pick up most turn Patterns just by watching. I Luv Music in General and can pretty much Dance to anything. I am very focused when I set my mind to something and have no hesitation showing my Talent once I learn something very well...I will Dance in front of a crowd like there is no one else in the Room!

Experienced in salsa, currently studying at Arthur Murray

Ive been dancing for years. Mainly West/East Coast Swing, Country/Western, a little Ballroom, Swamp Pop/Jitterbug. I rarely compete, but always fun..

Open standard dancer

I love to dance! In the 1980's I danced 7 nights a week, 4

+ hours a night. I learned WHIP/WCS from Gilbert Huron and some SWWC.

I'm not a Ballroom trained dancer. I want to learn Argentine Tango. I am a dedicated learner and am coachable; desiring a dance partner who is interested in having fun while wanting to be the best we can be.

I am happiest when on the dance floor connecting with my partner. I can think of nothing better in life than to be able to study partner dance and teach it. I am at a point in my life where I would like to do nothing but dance and teach it. I learned to dance during the URBAN COWBOY days in the early 1980's in Houston TX. I am able to move to any part of the country if the right situation presents itself; I'd need to find a job to cover room and board expenses and have a partner who is dedicated to learning and then maybe teaching dance. My favorites now are West Coast Swing, Night Club 2-step and CW. Happiest days of my life were when I would go to work, get off at 5 o'clock, go home, shower, shave and get ready to dance until 2am. I was very much in demand in Houston as a social dance partner.

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

So, who says that a woman can't find a man who really loves to dance? Here I am! If there is a woman out there who is seeking a dedicated social dance partner with determination to advance, then look no further! To excel at any one endeavor, I feel like you have to specialize and dance is what I've chosen for that purpose. While always striving to keep dancing fun, I do take it seriously and I have the ambition to work at being the best that I can be. I believe that a serious dancer progresses better and more rapidly by having a steady partner. In addition to my motivation and enthusiasm, it is my appreciation for and my loyalty and devotion to my partner and the way that I express it that sets me apart from others. While I am confident that I'm a good social dancer right now, I know that I still have a long ways to go. I've been dancing a long time, but I still want to learn and I am willing to practice. I'm particularly interested in doing more with hustle, west coast swing and salsa/mambo. I am open to learning new dances. I'm flexible in terms of whether I am either the more experienced dancer or at a lesser skill level than my partner (I am receptive to being coached/trained if my partner has the background and interest in doing so). When not dancing, I enjoy roller coasters, water parks, beaches, going to sporting events and playing pickleball. Being retired, I'd like to go on cruises with a companion, particularly cruises that include social dancing. Please note that I'm not a paid up full member, so I can't respond to greetings.

I have been dancing for 10 years with pro teachers. I would love to improve and maybe attend competitions.

I've been training with Paul and Olga Richardson for the past couple years. I've grown a lot during that time and I'm looking for a partner also interested in working towards high level competition.

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 love to dance! I know how to two-step and enjoy the old-fashioned country swing. I’m not familiar with the differences between East Coast and West Coast Swing yet, but I’d love to learn.

Gold level in International Standard and Silver-Gold in Latin. Currently taking lessons to advance.

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

Experienced salsa dancer and performer captivated by the artistry, beauty and athleticism of ballroom dance. Actively training on a weekly basis in American style Smooth and Rhythm, and working on maintaining/building/learning new skills in the Night Club dances. I enjoy the journey of learning and spend an additional 2-3 hrs outside of lessons per week in solo practice and conditioning.

I have been dancing for two years and going to a dance studio around 10 hours a week. I love ballroom dancing, smooth and swing, although I dance some of the Latin dances as well I have recently been at a South Florida dance competition where I was awarded first price for a solo dance with one of my instructors and several other awards for American Walt and tango, foxtrot and vienesse waltz. I am very active and love dancing and having fun.
