I stared dancing at 18 when I took my first dance class as in college. I had no idea it would be so fun. I ended up dancing all through college and was even in Ballet company for a few years I previously had a handful of Ballroom. Swing, and salsa classes over the years and Always wanted to do more partner dancing so I'm open to pretty much any style. I recently picked up Country dancing and am most interested in country dancing.

I began dancing in the early 1980 by taking CW dance classes in Austin, Tx with my wife. Social dancing was one of our passions until she passed in 2025. We also took some ballroom dance classes and enjoyed combining the two styles. We especially enjoyed the Waltz.

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

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!

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 started at age 8 being part of an art academy which involved singing, acting, dancing. I learned jazz partner dancing and tap then later on in middle school I took ballet, hip hop and belly dance classes and in highschool I decided to try ballroom and fell inlove with it.

I have a strong background in ballroom dancing — I trained and competed professionally for about 10 years, taking part in various championships and also teaching for a year at a dance school. My main focus was International Latin and Standard, but I also enjoyed Salsa and Social Ballroom.

Although I stepped away from dancing about 7 years ago, I deeply miss it. Dance has always been my passion, my way to recharge, and a source of happiness. Now I want to bring this discipline and joy back into my life. My goal is to rebuild my dance form, regain flexibility, and reconnect with the techniques I once mastered.

At this stage, I am open to practicing independently with a partner, creating choreographies together, and — if needed — taking private lessons later to refine technique.

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.

Ever encountered the unease of dancing, particularly in the shadow of a former flame who happened to be a professional dancer? Picture this: an attempt to impress, met with a symphony of missteps. A tale of two left feet that rivaled any dance disaster.

Yet fear not, for I embarked on a journey of private lessons, turning the clumsy shuffle into a salsa spectacle. Today, not only do I have confidence on the dance floor, but I also find myself in the role of co-instructor for salsa and bachata group classes. A transformation beyond my wildest expectations.

My dance odyssey unfolds with a clear mission — to become well versed and capable of captivating a room with both sophisticated moves and a touch of clever banter. Envision a well-trained partner, committed to refining skills through frequent classes and lessons, poised to continue growing and now helping others overcome their fears of dancing.

Open standard dancer

Experienced in salsa, currently studying at Arthur Murray

I have been dancing Salsa and Bachata on and off for about 18 years at dance socials in Central NJ and Northern NJ, and have done couples and group choregraphed performances for these dances at dance studios in the past. I've also learned Argentine Tango, Cha Cha, Rumba, Mambo, and Merengue. I'd like to learn beginner levels of Ballroom dances next, so that I can attend Ballroom/Latin dance socials and dance to any song that comes on. I'd also like to advance my skills in Argentine Tango and the various Latin dances, and have a dance partner to attend private lessons and practice with.

I do most of the ballroom dances; swing, foxtrot, west coast swing, salsa, cha cha, samba, bachata, Argentine tango, American tango, rumba, lindy hop, foxtrot, waltz, viennese waltz, quickstep, meringue, bolero, country two step, and night club two step.

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.

Formerly taught Ballroom many years ago. Still go to studios. A little rusty in some spots, but can hold my own. My goal is to find a social partner and possibly a relationship.

Updated September '26

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.

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.

Interests are in Tango, swing, swing fusion, developing West Coast swing skills... I do Israeli and international and Zydeco as well. Love contra because of the people. Just moved to the Chicago area.

I took up ballroom dancing around 8 years ago, and had a regular partner for around 4 years.

For most of this time I've had weekly lessons at a local dance school in Kendal during which I worked towards the medal examinations each year. In 2016 I achieved gold in Ballroom and silver in Argentine Tango, and in 2017 gold in Latin and gold in Argentine Tango.

I also go to whatever other classes are available, Argentine Tango about twice a month with the odd workshop, also occasional salsa classes and modern jive. I enjoy the discipline of ballroom and latin dances, and the freedom and expression of the Argentine Tango. I enjoy interpreting music in movement and when the music is playing I never seem to tire and will be on the floor all night.

After this my dance school closed and I have a lot less opportunities for dancing. I am therefore considering travelling further afield. The Blackpool Tower is just over an hour's drive and would be a good location for potential try-outs.

I'm passionate about Argentine tango and I dance about three to four times a week. Two classes/workshops and two good milongas usually.

I prefer estilo milonguero and the music from the Golden Age of tango, mainly Pugliese, but also Troilo, Demare, or De Angelis. Not very much into alternative...

Not a full member so cant respond directly to emails

I'm looking for a local dance partner to attend classes and lessons. I’m 5’-8’’ tall Look forward to hearing from you

Raymond

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.

Reliable, easy going, enthusiastic dancer

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’m just an amateur looking to join a ballroom dancing class

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?

Standard and latin, competitive

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.

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!

Love to dance and perform and willing to compete. Looking for partner for social dancing, lessons, and maybe showcases and amateur competitions. Fairly new to Portland. Have been to salsa, WCS, rumba and bachata lessons at various studios and to social dances.

Eight years ago, began dance lessons in all styles. Then competed in Standard/Ballroom pro-am and amateur-amateur at College comps.
