I like the sentence: Dance your cares away! Love to dance, it is also part of my profession: I am Nia Technique instructor. As a fitness instructor I am working now on creating fitness programm based on Latin dance movements. I am very serious about my dance practice.

About me: I'm a professional dance educator. I believe the greatest compliment you can give to something you love is to give back and I've done nothing if I have not added to the art. I want to demonstrate and educate more so than win a competition(that is nice but does not fulfill me).

I am fit, extensively trained, disciplined, and motivated.

I am not a typical professional dancer. I enjoy cross-training in multiple disciplines: ballroom (American/international), also in street/social forms (such as Lindy hop, W.C.S., Argentine Tango, Salsa, Zouk, Shag, etc). I focus on understanding/preserving our dance history. My greatest strength in my opinion is my knowledge base as a dance historian as well as a large personal dance library (both print and film)

Researching dance history is one of my great passions as to understand dance forms throughout their evolutions. I am a generalist not a specialist so I have spread myself thin, but gained valuable insight and movement/expression from the experience. My passion is studying and rebuilding the genesis and evolution of the art of dance to bring back the lost knowledge and open minds to continue pushing the art to new levels. To let people see what is possible if you see the big picture without rules and self imposed limitations the way it was when people created the dances, instead only following others. I am a working pro i.e. I don't teach here and there on the side...I do it every day...I study and take it serious.

My major goals are teaching related, to expand the industry knowledge base and empower future generations through exposure to our rich history. I'm currently reconstructing lost 1920's dance forms or the Collegiate styles as well as ongoing work towards saving Peabody, Hustle, Shag, and Ragtime era dances. I plan to have a youtube channel up before years end which will teach lost dances, history, characterization elements, teaching theories, and technical elements rarely taught outside of private instruction. I also have a history website I maintain and travel occasionally on research trips out of state to collect and preserve rare documents related to dance history.

PS.I love fusing different systems elements to expand personal interpretation/expression. I'll learn anything, but refuse to be a copy of someone else. Nor am I willing to solely train or compete in modern forms. You must be willing to learn vintage styles of dances as it's my field of expertise.

I am a female who is passionate about dancing but finding myself not dancing much outside of dance lessons due to lack of a dance partner.

Motivated and hard-working dancer. Willing to compete internationally.

I love country dancing and enjoy two-step, polka, west coast, east coast, waltz. I've recently branched out into Latin dances and can follow salsa, cha cha and others.

I'd love to find a dance partner to practice and enjoy social dancing with on a weekly basis.

Unfortunately, do to a lack of partners and other circumstances, I haven't been dancing much in the last few years and am getting rusty. I would like to change that; maybe you could help? I like dancing at clubs but am also learning as many styles of dance as I can. I have varying levels of experience with two-step, salsa, merengue, country line dancing, west coast swing, tango, samba, waltz, rumba, foxtrot, belly dance, and hip hop. My favorite TV show is "So You Think You Can Dance". That show has taught me a lot about different styles that I never knew about!

find people traing and competition

I can dance the basic skills of Rumba Chacha, which I learned when I was a child. Now want to relearn side bullfighting, cowboys and waltzes. This is something I love! Looking for someone to training and competition，I want to compete this year！

I am interested in health, fitness and social justice issues. Children in college, and I want to take up ballroom dancing. Took dance in junior high and high school (ballet, tap, etc.) and can't wait to waltz, rumba, etc.

I've been taking ballroom dance classes for almost 3 years now and I enjoy it a lot. My main dances are Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha Cha Cha, and Rumba. I also do a little east coast swing and salsa. My goals are to be a great social dancer and with the right partner compete in dance competitions to win and have fun doing it.

I am very open minded and like to meet someone who can work with me practicing salsa and bachata dance.

I'm a social ballroom dancer who also likes to compete and go to social dances in public venues as well as studio parties. I love period balls (Colonial, Jane Austen, Civil War) and Viennese Balls. I started ballroom dancing in the '80's, danced for a couple years, branched off into contra and got back into ballroom on a regular basis in 2007.

At this point I only know American Style ballroom, and lately I've been exploring my inner cowgirl by dancing CW. If I pick up International it's going to be like way down the road, unless I start dancing in Europe. I took private lessons at a small studio in Alexandria which followed the Fred Astaire syllabus and now take lessons at a studio in Fairfax which follows the DVIDA syllabus. I have competed at the Bronze and Silver level in small local one-day competitions. I also enjoy performing showcases.

While competing Pro-Am is fun, I really enjoy competing as an amateur, since you and your partner are equally responsible for the performance, not to mention it's a lot more economical.

Greetings to all. I have been dancing on and off since 2003. But have taken up Argentine Tango seriously since 2009 and go out at least 4-6 times a week. Argentine tango is very challenging and hence addictive. When schedule permits I also go out to Salsa, WCS & Ballroom.

I am extremely high energy person also into golf, tennis, scuba, sailing, rollerblading, flying, weights, skiing, socializing, fund raising and more. I have traveled extensively around the world and enjoy my life

Hi I have developed a great interest in dancing and learning more. I'm currently learning smooth and rythym dances and take classes 4 times a week. I'd love to go out to dances and practice and enjoy dance even more. I'm fairly new but am getting better everyday and have been told I'm a good dancer!!!

I just figured out how to update my profile. Now I need to figure out how to upload some recent pictures. They keep rejecting them saying they’re not the right size. I am not techie at all LOL I started learning two-step and swing in March 2014 with Ed Failing at the Cowboy Palace in Chatsworth. I joined Square Dance clubs in the San Fernando, Simi Valley & Santa Clarita Valley in September 2014. Now Feb 2022, I am a strong A-2 Square dancer (girl) and okay (boy), I’m learning C-1. I was a good beginner Phase ll and lll round dancer in Two-Step, Waltz and Cha before Covid (need a partner to renew). I would like to learn more round dance but lack a practice partner. I also need a partner for square dancing (dances, workshops and festivals). My country two-step, swing,waltz &Cha Cha has fallen to the wayside the last couple of years but I would like to get back to that now. I also have interest in Victorian Dances, East Coast Swing and Lindy. I have been doing some social ballroom dancing and I’m told I follow well but I need someone to practice with. I’m not looking for someone to date....I just want to dance!

My 4 year dance partnership has just come to an end and I am looking for a new amateur partner to take lessons with, practice and possibly compete. My last competitions were in American Smooth at Gold level. I've been taking dance lessons for about 6 years now and would like to keep improving my technique and performance skills, learn more difficult routines and styling. I am a quick learner and a good follower, and I have a great musicality and sense of rhythm. We can dance anywhere in NoVa or MD/DC area.

On a personal note - I am well-travelled, educated, flexible and easy to get along with.

I have no background in dancing.

I'm a very dedicated, competitive latin dancer.

i start dancing since i was 9 yrs old,i do jazz,hip-hop and i start dancing latin american and modern bollroom when i was 14 currently competing in pro level..I'm teaching Argentine tango and salsa,bachata and kizomba at the same time I'm doing events,just to add on im a DJas well:) i love to dance i love to compete,perform i have a lot of dedication and decipline on it and im willing to learn more how to improve more in dancing,I have a dance school now in malaysia dance art academy the name of my school hoping to find a partner who can help me to teach,at the same time training for competition and performance!

I love ballroom dancing especially American Smooth. I enjoy Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango & Viennese Waltz. I currently take 4 private lessons a month at Fred Astaire working on polishing my technique and movement. I recently competed in San Diego Beach Bash & got 3rd place in the multi-dance for Waltz, Foxtrot & Tango. In the single dances I got 1st place in Waltz & 2nd in Foxtrot & Tango

Danced at family parties my whole life but want to learn to dance with a partner.

I've taken up dancing a few times throughout my life, but as of 2019, I've stuck with it, and I'm taking it seriously. I'm tired of taking weekly classes, with sparse opportunities to practice, drill, experiment, and improve. I want to advance my repertoire, exploring moves and figures that require too much practice/focus to learn to be included in drop-in lessons. I want to practice until we display effortless expertise on the social floor. And if an opportunity for competition comes up, I wouldn't object to that, either.

As a single person who has just found out about Ballroom dancing and currentl on a 10 week taster course I've realised I need a dance partner to progress

I have a primary partner but feel I need to dance regularly (course or social events) with someone else to continue improving my Salsa and Batchata. Open to any kind of opportunity to continue learning and having fun!

I am an attractive widow seeking a dance partner for ballroom. I am a happy lady with a good sense of humour. I am looking for a partner to dance with preferably similar in character to myself. I am a complete novice but have attempted to do classes but find it frustrating when I have no partner to practice with. If there is anybody that would be willing to guide me through I am willing to put the practice hours in to improveo. Ilove all kind of dancing but ballroom would be my favourite hobby.
