Hi - I started dancing classes in January 2018 for a few terms, and now I have time I am starting again in 2020.

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.

Professional hard worker who has just found West Coast Swing. Country Western is also fun. Favorite music is blues, CW and southern rock like ZZ tops and Doobie Brothers.

Hello. I am new to this site. I started dancing years ago and like dancing. I took lessons for 3 years.

I am proficient with West Coast, know a little East Coast and Cha Cha. I'm taking private solo lessons in all three and would like a practice partner for at least one dance style. I'm in Syracuse 3-4x/week for lessons & social dancing. I'm open to taking lessons in Binghamton, Ithaca or at similar distances. I dance WCS every Thursday at the Tyrol Club of Solvay.

Ballroom dance classes in college, grew up with polka/waltz style, looking to renew an old joy, perhaps take lessons and expand repertoire

Latin dance lover with a major in hustle 40 years

Love salsa bachata and kazomba

Would like a dance buddy to social dance and develop performance skills

Can dance country/ east coast swing waltz 2 straight hours. Taking lessons to improve country/east coast swing. Will continue on other dances. Can dance like a 60 years young person,

My younger dance partner said she never had enough dancing; then she met me. If you like to dance with a. Partner ; I am available for a tryout.

I train under the direction of Maura Garuccio and Andrea Stefano. I want to achieve the highest levels of dance and am willing to put in the time and effort to achieve them. I am looking to dance standard, smooth, or theater arts. Flexible to travel as needed for a partner.

My first ballroom experience was in college. I want to continue to learn to dance.

I have been a teacher for six years and am currently working at Storm Ballroom Dance Studio in Cherry Hill, NJ.

I love teaching, training, and competing so I aim to lean into these things as much as possible.

I am an active senior with a lot of passion for dancing. And I am looking for the right partner to dance.

I am fully COVID-19 vaccinated with Pfizer 2 shots.

Right now I am focusing on International Ballroom technique with an exceptional instructor. Would love to have a partner to practice with at least on some weekends then go to social dancing. At socials I find it very difficult to get a partner for International dances. I am so happy when I get somebody for VW - which is my favorite dance. I have five years of intensive private lessons and some social dancing.

I have been training and competing for 7 years in Eastern Europe during 7 - 14 years old. Since then haven't really trained or practiced on a regular basis. Currently looking for a partner to start practicing again.

My big sisters taught me to dance when I was little and I have loved it ever since! Any chance I get I will dance. Just looking for a good partner to take classes together and learn more and/or go dance at some dance halls in Columbus and have blast : )

14 years of latin ballroom dance experience

I love Ballroom dancing. I favor International Standard, American Smooth, and Argentine Tango. I also enjoy Latin and Rhythm dances. I began taking lessons years ago, in January 2013, and have competed in Pro-Am competitions, Full Bronze and Advanced Silver with good results. I also enjoy group lessons locally. I would loke to find a partner for social dancing, dance parties, and possibly working towards AM/AM competitions.

I have danced most of my life and found ballroom dancing in the last couple of years. I want to get better at my social dancing with the possibility of competing. I currently work at a ballroom dance studio and would like to work towards being a teacher.

Yes! I do have a large ballroom in the center of my house for dance or practice. This is my favorite sport and hobby.

I am a nice easy going man. I enjoy dancing, nature, the arts, and science.

I am willing to teach and learn all types of dance.

. Mature, sincere very fit and patient guy, good social dancer in ballroom Latin and jive

I'm a very eclectic and diverse man, educated (BA & MEd), mature, and refined; yet, I also enjoy getting down and basic. Poetry, music, philosophy, spirituality, the arts, and dance are pursuits I actively follow. More than a few volumes of unpublished poetry, a studio full of synthesizers and recording equipment, fishing gear, golf clubs, swimming suits (speedos), one Elantra GT, an old RoadTrek RV, tents, are among my possessions.

I am passionate in my approach to life and love. The tapestry of me includes triumphs and defeats, treasures and troughs, magic and mayhem. Love has visited and departed various times; yet my faith in true love is unshakable. I'm searching for that one special angel who has the key to me. You need not be a ravishing beauty, yet you have a look about you that is captivating. You are mature yet youthful in outlook, slim/petite, and attractive. You have deportment, bearing, confidence and presence. You are stylish but you are comfortable dressed down and you are not averse to leaving your makeup in the bag (smiles). You are monogamous and totally committed to your man and you expect no less from him. You are a sensual woman. You will find me. I will find you. Let's dance.

Taking an interest in social dance, Just a beginner,

Started dancing almost 5 years ago, got really exited about it after a few months, and was getting ready for my first competition when Covid stroke. I'd love to find a practice partner primarily for smooth/rhythm, but also interested in standard/latin and Argentine Tango.

学連卒、アマチュアを経てターンプロ。

現在西部JBDF スタンダードB級、ラテンC級

My lifestyle is committed to the dance world have all of the qualifications to do show, compete at good level etc...

I’m a social dancer. My strengths: I am versatile, I know a lot of dances; I can stay on the beat; I follow well. My weaknesses: I am not formally trained, and I am not creative about shines and syncopations. I can follow all of the dances listed, and I can lead Cajun zydeco waltz, country western waltz, Viennese waltz, and a tiny bit of East Coast Swing and Bachata.

Been partnerless for a little bit now. First, due to life stuff, and now due to COVID stuff.

Started up weekly lessons in again recently. Hopefully as the world settles down, I can do more lessons and classes and practices and socials and all that fun stuff!

Been doing mostly Smooth for the past 5 years, with a few years experience in Standard, Latin, Rhythm and social dances.

I'm really hard worker, dedicated to dance, Ready to sacrifice everything for dance. Very responsible, hard working and dedicated in every sense. Not much more to tell about me except that I give everything to dance. Only thing stopping me from getting high in world of dance is current financial situation (that should get much better soon) and lack of partners that are willing to practice as much as it need because of Sport dance is not so popular in Serbia.

I danced ballet and jazz as a young person and in college. Salsa and Bachata are so much fun, I love dancing.

2019 Blackpool-China Amateur Group 21th

I dance 1 to 2 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week. I attend workshops, dance camps and competitions, and social dances. I have done several Showcases and Competitions.

Hi i dance approximately 14 different dances, all varieties at level of advanced beginner to intermediate.

Most leads say I am light on my feet and easy to lead. I like to be a little creative, too.

I am a peaceful person, single for 2.5 years (2022). Looking for dance & life partner. I have decided that I need at least 2 dances in common to have balance in shared activities.

I’m serious about improving, learning, and growing as a dancer. I do not compete, yet.

I’m working on my Bronze AM. I’ll following the Dvida syllabus.

I’ve been taking private lessons once a week and practice twice a week.

I work out at the gym 3 times a week. I enjoy hikes, reading, cooking, and the spending time with friends.

I have dance Argentine tango for a few years. I can lead anything.

***I'll be competing at Chicago Harvest Moon Ball October 7th - 8th, 2022, Rhythm and Smooth. Meet me there!***

I would love to have a dynamic and motivated partner to practice, compete, have fun at socials, and possibly more! If there is a good initial connection, let's communicate to plan tryouts and practices. I'm excited to explore new dancing communities & locations... and open to eventual relocation.

In 2014 I started ballroom dance group lessons, and loved ballroom so much, soon I had to start a few private lessons. I was struggling to justify the time away from my family as well as the expense back then. But lucky for me, I was getting closer to becoming an empty-nester, then my divorce happened! (Note: not because of the dancing lol). Dancing not only got me through the most difficult time of my life but gave me all the joy I could ever imagine.

Now I take private lessons and compete pro/am a few times a year. I've been dancing smooth & rhythm silver level, but about going Open. I’ve done all styles, and would like to find a life & dance partner at any level or style. If we have potential as dance partners, we can get better together, while having fun!

“Dance enables you to find yourself and lose yourself at the same time” – Author unknown

Fully vaccinated and one booster shot so far. I'm more comfortable wearing a mask in the studio for now.

Currently studying for my Dance Vision teaching certification in the most gorgeous dance studio I've ever seen. (Did you know Dance Vision has some studio franchises in Texas?) Shaking the rust off after a 10-year hiatus from dancing. My exam will be sometime in April/May 2022.

I'm all about technique, and would rather do a few figures well than many figures poorly. I've been dancing and teaching since 1993, some Silver American Smooth and Rhythm, some International Standard and Latin. Studied under Russell Monk, Fred Dunn, Rickey Geiger, Ludwig Dahlberg, and Craig Bukowski, among others.

I hit the road in March 2018 in my vintage Shasta Compact, wintering in the south/southwest, summering in New England. Now I'm settled in Houston.

I'm a non-smoking, non-drinking, vegan Christian. Sound like a barrel of laughs, huh? ;-) I really am very funny; well, at least I think I am...I also have a cat and a newly adopted dog, something people with severe allergies need to know. I'm willing to relocate for the right opportunity. Independent Centrist.

I've been dancing on and off for 24 years. I've been actively and passionately dancing again for the last 3 years. I dance most of the American Rhythm and American Smooth dances plus Salsa and a little AT which I'd like to pursue more. I'm a strong lead, high energy and pickup choreography quickly. I think dancing is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!

experienced dancer looking for a competition partner, 5+ yrs expereince, passionate performer

I use to dance many years ago with my late wife, I started dancing lessons again to refresh my memory of the steps, dancing 2 nights a week with my granddaughter as my temporary partner.

Northwest amateur champion in western two step 1991. And third in UK national championships 1992

I love dancing and coming up with different theme ideas, along with locations to bring dance to a whole new level of entertainment. Days I'm available to practice: Thursday 10:00 to 2:00pm - Friday & Saturday anytime - Willing to work out a schedule that works for the both of us.

Would like to compete Smooth or Rhythm.

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.

BFA Modern Dance (4 year college degree). Auditioned into Actor's Equity NYC. Performer 4 years, performed at Madison Square Garden. Danced in LA, CA socially: salsa, W. Coast Swing. Looking for a partner who would like to dance well together, take lessons to progress our skills with the main idea of having fun every time we go dancing, instead of not finding dance partners that challenge us to be our best.

Taking lesson from top coaches. Trained very intensively and skill was improved drastically. Strong & sharp movement, presence and Energy. High passion to dance. Took Standard lesson from Oleg and Tatiana Suvorov, Latin lesson from Carina Fourmyle. Competed big events, such as, Embassy, Golden State Challenge, California Starball and got good results. Championship level in Standard. Novice level in Latin. I also learned Smooth from Teresa Shiry. Since I know both Standard and Latin, my Smooth is good as well. I have an ambition to compete in Professional some day. However, even in Amateur category, I compete with fun even if dancing seriously.

Seeking an intermediate dance partner in the Upper Cape Cod area. I try to take one dance lesson per week, one dance per week.

Thanks!

I love to dance, I miss dancing Rock N Roll from my younger years. But I'm willing to learn any other dance. Ballroom maybe.

I'm a 10 dancer. I'm a BC provincial Adult Open Standard Champion and Canadian Finalist

For Latin I'm BC champion and Canadian Finalist in the Senior I category.

I'm looking for a partner for International Latin or 10 Dance.

For the right partner I'd be willing to go into American Smooth or turn professional.

I was first introduced to Argentine Tango while living in San Francisco around 2005.

I moved away from SF and I now live in Huntington Beach. I am taking bi-weekly private Tango lessons and weekly group lessons.

Thrilled at discovery: from new dance steps to the leading edge in most fields--experimenting and synergizing with my partner. While I'm silver level, I have had advanced coaching and taken amateur 1st places in Rhumba, Cha Cha Cha, Samba & Jive in neighboring cities. Since last year I've begun to take regular blocks of lessons (WCSwing & NiteClub2Step)and whatever a nifty teacher that comes to town and gets a class together for... (quick-step, waltz, tango, salsa, hustle). I've been out of the regular comp & showcase scene and getting some tune-up coaching after having gotten blurry on probably everything except hogging the local GR singles' dance floors in mild showoff mode every weekend.

I am alive to the idea world, (not the dry pedantic sort of intellectual), and aesthetics (of the bright & healing kind of fine arts) a Renaissance generalist, having been on the quest for truth, beauty and goodness in most of the traditional fields (art, philosophy, science and spirituality) and many of the alternative avenues and metaphysics--hence my becoming a lacto-veggie since pre-teen, a yoga meditator, and later studied Waldorf pedagogy, energy healing, bio-acoustics, massage, neutraceuticals, vegetarianism, Anthroposophy, Arica, Landmark Communication, ufology, spiritual science, wholistic studies, appropriate technology, listening to CoastToCoastAm, and NewDimensionsRadio etc. as well as hobbies of reading, biking, inline skating, photography, hiking, swimming, making & visiting fine arts...in between the dancing of course! ;^)

My goals are to compete nationally and locally for international standard style. Open to international competitions. I practice 2-3 hours for 2-3 days (flexible) and have about 1 private lesson per week (flexible, could be more near competitions), near San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain view, Stanford. I could do Latin silver level, but for fun or socials only and not thinking to compete in Latin.

I really enjoy dancing and go at least once a week. West Coast Swing and hustle are my favorites, but I know about one "song" worth of moves for other dances. There is plenty of good dance opportunities in Chicago, which is great.

25 years experience in Ballroom and Hustle dancing. 5 years in Salsa. Recently started working on West coast swing and Argentine Tango.

Looking a ballroom dance partner to practice and compete with in Amateur Standard or/and Latin.Looking for a dedicated partner to create a long term partnership and enjoy an experience of dancing, competing and winning together.Have been taking Ballroom lessons in high school and restarted it in December 2017. I am currently competing in a Latin Pro-Am in Gold level and just separated with a Standard partner who we competed in amateur novice level with due to his relocation to China. I take private lessons in both International Latin and Standard styles 2-3 times a week. Ready to invest as much time and finances as needed to improve, determined, full of energy and eager to win.

Please reach out to me if you would like to try out.

Thank you!

Aliyana.

I belonged to the Pollock Dance Studio for two years, but it closed in 2013. Since then, I've been doing lessons at a variety of places (such as rec centres and schools), mostly in Scarborough. I also attend dance nights about once a month at Harmony Club.

I love travelling and discovering country. There is always something enriching. I enjoy all pleasure of the life, eating and if necessary cooking myself, dancing in any place.

I have been dancing ballroom for over 20 years, I dance all 10 competition dances, mostly international style and I also love Latin social dances like Salsa, Bachata and Argentine Tango. I am currently teaching in Dallas area. I also like Belly Dancing, Flamenco and Hiphop. I am in better shape than I was in my 30's and I attribue my great phisique to dancing.

I AM 5FT 11 AND HAVE A NUMBER OF YEARS EXPERIENCE IN BALLROOM, LATIN, ROCK AND ROLL AND SEQUENCE, HAVE PRIVATE LESSONS AND LOVE GOING SOCIAL DANCING MOST NIGHTS. I DONT DRINK OR SMOKE. LOOKING FOR A NICE PERSON WHO LOVES DANCING.

I would like to take part in the competitions, and get dance class with dance partner in Edinburgh or TownHill. And I wish to dance in social dance party nearby.

I love music and love to dance! In the past, I've taken classes in ballet, Irish, and Zumba. My goals are to learn to dance with a partner and work at getting better. I would be interested in taking classes together with a partner and/or going out to dance to live music.

Used to dance 7 nights a week in Spain, covid brought me to the United States. I've been out of the dance world for too long, need to get back into it. I used to be on a bachata performance team, but covid...

Social dance for fun and fitness

Social dance for fun and fitness

I trained in ballet, tap, jazz, and character dance in my youth, and had great fun at weddings with waltzes and polkas. I more recently returned to dance when we took my aging parents to a local 1940s USO style swing dance and we all had a blast. I began learning and loving East Coast Swing, Fox Trot, Cha Cha, etc. I am interested in learning Lindy, Balboa and almost any other style of dance. I'm a quick learner and enjoy mixing things up and trying something new.

I recently moved to NYC from LA. Pre-Covid I danced a lot to salsa and bachata. I would like to learn NYC’s two step salsa and check out all the fab live music here.

I’ve danced traditional folk dancing for 8 years and ballet for 2 years starting when I was 8. I’m currently dancing American rhythm however I am willing to train in Latin as well. My goal is to compete professionally, train hard and be a champion. I’m very hardworking and dedicated. I have placed highly in all open Gold level proam competitions however I am ready to take the next step and train hard for professional competitions. I consider this to be a lifestyle and I am willing to put in as much time and energy as possible to being the best.

I am back. After taking a few years off dancing, I've decided to dance again and am serious about finding a partner and dancing again.

Im originally from Leicester and London england and am British trained dancer with specialty in international latin but also interested in salsa and bachata and social dancing in general. I had recieved training from Karina Smirnoff, Goran Nordin, Max Kozhevnikov and other amazing teachers more recently.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I love to dance and I've been doing other styles of dance since I was little. I started ballroom and Latin lessons a few years ago but stopped going due to various reasons (not having a partner and wasn't learning a lot.) I still go to the odd social and it's great to be able to practice dancing with different people. I do it for fun so I'm not looking for a serious commitment and since starting my own business and with other commitments I'm not sure where I stand currently with taking up lessons again. I'm a quick learner and like a challenge. I'm easy going and up for a laugh! I'd be up for meeting at a few socials for now. I go with a couple of friends to a few places... Solihull, Cannock, Brownhills and Streetly. I like the idea of doing a some short courses so it's not a permanent commitment at the moment. I've seen some argentine classes and I'd love to do more of that. I've also done salsa classes for about 2/3 years and go to socials in and around Birmginham when I can. This is great fun as you don't need a partner but can keep swapping so good for socialising and for practice. I even tried a few swing classes!

I have been competing in the Pro Latin division since 2003, and previously as a championship amateur for 6 years, placing in some finals of IDSF comps. I am a very dedicated and focused as to what my goals are and how I am going to reach them.

I have been trained by Nadia Eftedal, Colin James and currently working with Heidi and Donnie Burns.

Been dancing international latin and then switched to ballroom. Now I am in love with salsa. Looking for someone who is willing to dance either any of those styles.

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.

Looking for a partner to help me sharpen my salsa skills...

Looking for a partner to help me sharpen my salsa skills...

passionate about dancing. I have started to include dancing with travelling. I would like to do more Argentine tango and West Coast swing. In the last two years have been dancing Square Dancing and salsa lessons. I have had a break from ballroom solely because of lack of partner but would like to start again but am being met with the question "do you have a partner?"

Learning to dance gives me a way to be more social and most people on some level equate being a good dancer with being more socially developed. I’m taking an online class, working fulltime and I am involved with the church. I don’t have the desire, time or money for romance or clubbing. I am gueiunely looking for a dance partner to train with. The gym I go to has a nice wood floor area that would be perfect for this. I know they allow it because I used the same gym to practice in, when I lived in Amarillo. There are camera’s everywhere, it’s in a nice area and a lot of cops work out there. I know how to do a “Two Step” and “ Waltz” I was working on learning Salsa and West Coast Swing when I moved to Albuquerque. I am also open to learning, “Bachata” I learned some steps over the weekend and enjoyed it. I want to have some moves by the summer, however I need a partner that wants to have some moves by the summer. If this interest you, get in touch with me. I'm good looking for a bald man have above average social skills, and pay attention to hygiene. Basically I won't gross you out, I'm also funny and considerate when I get past the initial awkwardness. We can work out logistic that allow you to be safe.

I have been ballroom dancing for about three years. I used to go a lot before I moved back to California, but since I have been here my dancing has been inconsistant. I would really like to get back into dancing and ideally at some point in the future compete with a partner.

Description:

JUST LOOKING TO FIND LIKE THINKING PEOPLE

Interests:

JUST ABOUT ANYTHING - JUST TAKES LONGER TO DO THEM NOW

Preferences:

VERY OPEN TO IT ALL - IF IT FEEL RITE GO FOR IT

Took modern dance in college - we males were use to emphasizes the seven basic movements in the dance to enhance the girls recitals - I couldn't do this now but would love to do the lifts & some of the movements for fun. Any interest?

I have a real passion for Modern Jive, Swing, Ballroom dancing and Latin. I love a waltzing and quick step.

I am open to different kinds of dance and movement, including dance that is not skating.

I regularly train in ice dance and figure skating, 5-10 hours/week. I train in solo ice dance. I am working on pre-bronze and bronze pattern dances.

I have taken ballet for many years and modern dance for several years. Last year I learned flamenco for a few months and enjoyed learning.

I've gone salsa dancing quite a few times with a partner who did take lessons. He said that I was very good at following, that I have a great attitude, and that I am creative and get better each time. I would like to take lessons.

Learned dance through social events in the Bay Area, working at tech companies in Silicon Valley.

I am a lot of fun but also very serious about improving my ballroom dancing. Years ago I took classes from Paul Botes and Jennifer Foster. I wasn't very serious back then but I did pick up a lot of "good habits". Recently I have started lessons with Scott Anderson, just feeling out where I want to go. I am at Silver level but have a lot of body awareness and learn quickly. I also dance salsa/bachata, west coast and country2 socially for fun. After a few years off the dance floor I am looking for someone to take the journey with me as we improve our ballroom dancing together. I am thinking I would like to perform or perhaps compete.

SUMMARY:

GENERAL strategy I want to do right now (I've found that this strategy minimizes costs, while maximizing enjoyment):

1.) For the FOUNDATION aspect of dancing (the TECHNIQUE and STEPS categories below):

Rent studio time together, and use DanceVision DVDs (and Irish dancing DVDs, for me, too) for lots of fun PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

2.) For the APPLICATION aspect of dancing (the SPONTANEITY category below):

Keep going to live music and dance events where at some points I can't contain myself with the music, and I dance SPONTANEOUSLY, both solo and with a partner.

Where I'm at now with dancing, after dancing both partner and solo on and off for about 10 years:

My ENJOYMENT in dancing seems to depend on 3 categories: TECHNIQUE, STEPS, and SPONTANEITY.

For the categories of TECHNIQUE and STEPS, I've had plenty of formal instruction and have helped give formal instruction as an assistant teacher myself. I'm familiar with many standard forms for both TECHNIQUE and STEPS in about 10 or even more partner (Ballroom) dances over the years. I've never actually counted, as teaching studios and also a dance weekend I went to one time tend to cover a huge breadth of dances.

However, I've ended up recently focusing on the category of SPONTANEITY. To me, the category of SPONTANEITY seems to be a bit lacking in both teaching studio and social dance scenes. Therefore, I've been taking matters into my own hands, and being spontaneous myself. At Swing social events, I do spontaneous solo dancing along the sidelines, and then merge with a partner who would like to do the same thing as both partners and solo. It's a blast - we end up having so much fun!

When I'm doing this, a significant PARADIGM SHIFT that I'm doing is dancing to the general movement of the music, including the melody. I'm doing this, as opposed to doing an embedded drumbeat type of footwork to the music that the standard forms seem to usually take, and that can be constraining when my partner and I want to just let the music sweep us away. I've been experimenting with allowing the music to sweep us away, and we're able to enjoy a much more free moving Fred Astaire-like dance that's lots of fun!

To do this, I’m looking for: SPONTANEITY and AGILITY.

(Keep in mind that to be well-matched, my level of agility is kind of off the charts, so if you're NOT into AGILITY, we probably wouldn't be well-matched in the long-run. There - I've given my disclaimer - HA HA!)

I really would like to learn to become a perfect dancer, I know it will be hard and take a long time, but I m determined to get my goal !!!!! I

My background is tap and ballet but began social dances a few years ago.

I have never done any competition type dancing. I really think dancing is for fun and preciseness is not necessary. There are no wrong moves. I think everyone should personalize their dancing to their own enjoyment.

I am fit, fun, active, family oriented, healthy life style, caring, integrity/honesty. Love ballroom dancing, outdoors, music, nature, touch, great conversations, smiles, eye contact and more.

I have been ballroom dancing for at least 20 years, performed with the BYU ballroom team in 1982, and have taught beginning and intermediate courses in the community for over 10 years. I have 2 adult children who have placed nationally.

I would like to compete and perform at the senior level for standard, rhythm, Latin, smooth.

I have taken 22 lessons in rumba and salsa. First 10 were at Arthur Murray’s and the last 12 at Dance Legacy. Looking for a fun partner to join me in my private dance lessons at a Dance Legacy. The lessons are usually 7 or 8 on Wednesdays and Fridays. I will be paying for all the lessons.

I've never really done much dancing, but I've recently developed a strong interest in learning to dance salsa socially. I'm taking in-class lessons and an online video course and practice shines and basic steps and turns to music diligently at home, but would really like to find someone to practice partner dancing with as well.

I danced on my collegiate team for 4 years and spent 3 years working professionally at a studio in Saratoga Springs, NY. My studio was connected to many top professionals through out the country and brings coaches to the studio 1-2 times per month to further professional development. Currently, looking for someone to practice with and potentially get back into competing either professional or amateur if it feels right.

Having a difficult time dancing with men my level at milongas. I enjoy both old school and tango nuevo, like dancing to alternative and traditional music.

Ballroom dancing is my passion!! Enjoy hiking, sailing too. My membership expired.

Love my work (Fashion Industry).

I am a beginner dancer, I want to check myself in dance. I do not have my favorite dance, but maybe I will find it.

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.
