They call me the Renaissance Man - who loves to dance ballroom. I am quite accomplished in my professional career, financially independent. I have had success as a corporate executive, investment banker, corporate lawyer. Now I work as a venture capital investor. I am a Stanford grad (if you’re from Berkeley, forgive me and I won't take that against you). Have JD and MBA degrees and have an undergraduate degree in Engineering.
I am fit, , very outgoing, warm, romantic, sociable, personable and in the eyes of many, quite good looking. One of my major assets is a keen sense of humor, I like to keep everything light and people laughing. I am mostly a social dancer now and have no competitive experience but I think I have the capability to seriously compete.
In addition to ballroom dancing, I have a wide range of interests from public speaking, and sports. I am a terrific outdoor cook and love to sing. I like to laugh a lot, crack jokes, travel, but mostly, I love to dance. I am an avid, graceful ballroom dancer (mostly latin dances). If I can get you interested in dancing with me, I know you will have a great time. Trivia - I am also a part-owner of a major dance studio in Silicon Valley but I hope you won't take that against me.

I used to be a ballet student when I was a kid/teenager. It was a major passion of mine. Stopped dancing almost entirely when I turned 17. I've missed dancing for a while now which is why I decided to start learning to dance Salsa.

I've loved ballroom dancing since I started it five years ago. I have done some competition but am mostly interested in practice and social dancing at this point. I really enjoy both the social aspect and challenges of ballroom. One of the great joys of dancing is experiencing those "a-ha" moments when you realize you've just moved one step closer to your goal of being a better dancer.

I've been taking classes at Arthur Murray for almost a year, and I love the smooth dances: waltz and foxtrot, as well as polka. I also enjoy hustle. I am a Bronze I or II level for most of these dances and I'm working towards a full bronze level. I'm looking for someone with a keen interest in vintage dance events, especially Victorian, "Jazz Age"- Art Deco 1920s, and 1970s/Disco eras, and the accompanying dances (e.g., Charleston, Balboa, Virginia Reel, Waltz Quadrilles, Polka, Hustle). I travel to California several times a year to attend events in the L.A./Pasadena area around these themes and I'd love to attend with someone who would like to experience this with me. These are costume events, and a ton of fun! I am only interested in social dancing and training/practice, not competitions.

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.

I've been dancing for nearly 30 years. I've been away from dance in recent years and am now looking to start up again. My background is varied and ranges from traditional ballet to African to hip hop, to dance line and almost anything in between. I now want to add ballroom/partner dancing to the list. In past years I have also choreographed, taught, and sold choreography.

Morning! Danced ballroom from 2013- 2018. During that time I competed in proam bronze Latin (a decade ago) and up to silver smooth proam in 2018 (1st place). I'm looking forward to competing again. Before ballroom I was competitive in ballet and lyrical.
I live in Redondo Beach and am looking for a partner to practice with on a weekly basis OR a dance teacher for lessons.

I've studied 11 Ballroom and 4 social dances 5 days per week with a private teacher during the Pandemic, and love it! I love the arts, and am involved in chamber music, symphony, ballet, opera, etc... as a volunteer. My teacher doesn't use the bronze/silver levels, but mentioned that I'm doing 3rd year work.

I've danced my whole life. First ballet, jazz, tap, etc. Then I stumbled into ballroom. I was a ballroom instructor in OKC for 6 months before I moved back to Texas.
I also enjoy dancing w/ theatre and musical theatre. I last played the role of Jana in "The Beulaville Baptist Book Club Presents: A Bur-less-Q Nutcracker." Dancing w/ theatre allows me to continue practicing my jazz, ballet, and modern dance styles, as well as ballroom.

Hi, I'm looking to get back to regular practice and (potentially) competitions. I have 20 years of dance experience, and my break from competitions has been ten years, during which I've maintained a decent dance shape. I'm located in Central London so looking for someone within Greater London. Historically, my results in ballroom have been better than Latin, but I love Lating with all my heart and am happy to do 10 dances.

I've danced Ballet since 3 to 12 years old aprox
Then: Salsa, Latin, Bachata, Hip hop, Contemporary and Folkloric dances
Recently, I learned (basic) ChaCha, Swing, Rumba, Samba, etc.
Currently ( I'm in love and) practicing: Waltz, Foxtrot and American Tango
I want to practice smooth ballroom (Waltz, Foxtrot and American Tango and then maybe Viennese Waltz)
Ballet gave me a very good foundation, so I can learn very fast and I can dance in a very delicate way as a woman (people usually said that I look like a delicate doll while dancing, haha :).
Smooth goes with my style, I like classic or elegant, but also I'm versatil, because I like salsa, chacha and the other latin dances too, but for now I want to focus on smooth ballroom.

I am a social dancer, looking to improve my entertainment skills on the tango dance floor with no particular ambition to perform in professional context.
Apart from tango dancing I love silence, nature and recreational outdoor activities like wandering, bicycling and sailing.
I am a regular practitioner of yoga, meditation and tai chi..
