The past two years I competed & trained pro-am Latin with Andrei Kazlouski. I am looking for an amateur Latin partner to practice and compete asap. I would love to practice about 5-6 days a week, 2 hours a day, take lessons and train with top coaches. I am extremely ambitious, hard-working, and I love the energy of competing. I would be open to competing in the category that best suits our partnership. Look forward to meeting you!

Hi! I danced International Latin & Standard as well as American Rhythm & Smooth while I studied at Brown. After graduating, I've spent more time dancing bachata/salsa/zouk. I'd love to get back into ballroom dancing again and my favorite styles are International Latin, bachata, and zouk.

Dancing is one of my favourite activities. It is one that is most financially and time demanding. I have been consistently taking two private lessons with top teachers and practising at least once a week.
Although I am a serious learner, I am always very relaxed and humorous on all occasions. Dancing is supposed to be fun.
I exercise regularly and am living a healthy, clean and peaceful life.

I have been dancing for numerous years, but rarely had a partner. Took private lessons and went to two pro-AM competitions over the years. I love dancing but since I have been too busy with work and I didn't find a partner I could practice with on a regular basis up until now, I have not progressed to the level I could and wanted to. I want to progress to gold and even open level in International style (Ballroom first and then Latin).

I like to dance tango and salsa. I like to take long walks, hiking, gardening, table tennis, book reading and discussing.
In my quest to ask, if not answer, the world’s big questions, I walk a road that leads to bookstores, cafes, university libraries and beaches. A fan of the “Quirky Alone” movement, and a Libran of multiplicities, I dream of a vegan family farm and natural building community, and opening my own cooperative center, with spaces for performance, research, discussion, health & wellness, and a museum of peaceful resistance and beloved future visions. One of my questions might be “What is Love?” As much as it might be cuddling for hours, it’s also using my heart to promote peace. Getting my hands dirty at the animal sanctuary farm. Showing my appreciation of friends through a well-cooked meal. Celebrating life by dancing the tango. Keeping a garden for food and green joy. Petting your cat. When I catch a wave on my surfboard just the way dad taught me, or persevere through adversity like my mom, I channel the love of my parents. When I am vegan and work toward non-violence, I express my love of the planet. When I listen to your words and your body, disagree without fighting, and kiss you with all of me fully present, tender, playful, and happy, I share myself completely with you. In love, we are the dynamic duo, lightening burdens, celebrating solutions, joined in our journey through life.

Mostly social dance for a few years. Also got into ice skating. Primarily a mechanically minded and athletic guy. Even though my primary dance has been West Coast Swing for about 30 years, my heart has gone to anything rhythm and blues. Many, like Foxtrot, Nightclub Two Step, Bolero, etc. have taken the lead for artistic and syncopated expression that I seem to love.

Dance and I go way back. Ive done a bit of everything over the years, from ballet to ballroom to belly dancing, as well as getting out to clubs to learn salsa, line dancing, two-stepping, etc. and then eventually I taught private lessons at the studio where I’d been a student. My talent and area of expertise with dance has really been more contemporary/freestyle, single and in pairs, dedicating over 15 years to perfecting dance and workouts on a pole and teaching lessons. I even built a home studio to be able to work out and dance whenever I want. However, a serious head trauma over a year ago took a lot from me, and there are many things I know I love still that I need to relearn, and I am desperate to find myself on the dance floor again. By nature, I’m a writer. Both my hobby and profession are technically in aviation. I am crazy about my dogs, music, and Doctor Who...I love to travel, ride my horse, go on random road trips, and of course, dance.
I have a hereditary disorder called EDS, which is essentially joint hyper-mobility—I am flexible and bendy in ways that would snap the average person’s bones, which can be both insanely impressive and astonishingly painful. EDS dictates that I stay in motion and constantly push my body to stay as fluid as possible. That said, I simply ask that my potential partner have a basic understanding of how far I need to push myself sometimes. For example, I never would have thought to do pole work so intensively if I hadn’t needed to move beyond basic ballroom framework and into something that would be a more demanding challenge and priceless benefit to my joints. The more active I am, the more creative I can be in the studio/on the dance floor.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who thinks this is a unique challenge that they’d like to take a chance on.
Honestky, more than anything, I just want to be inspired.
Cheers!

I like to dance because it's fun. My dancing motto is "You can only have as much fun as the person having the least amount of fun" so I make it a point not to criticize or attempt to "teach" on the dance floor. (Teaching should be the domain of the pros) My favorite styles are Hustle, West Coast Swing, and most of the Latin ballroom genre' because I like dancing in nightclubs and those types of dances associate well with the music you find in a there. I like to arrive at a venue early and dance until the floor "packs out" then I get bored and and leave since I really really don't care much for freestyle non-partnered dancing. But if I'm at a place with space to dance I'll close it down. I do dance Waltz and can dance a little American style Tango since I occassionaly go to studio parties. I dance Salsa as well but since they don't play all that much of it at the types of venues I go to I don't know how to lead very many patterns, but my technique is good so I don't dance it like a begginner. I love listening to Salsa music, but not all night long, which is why I rarely go to Salsa clubs.

Recently moved to Orlando and am searching for dancing places and people to go dancing with. I enjoy flying around the room gracefully to a waltz, feeling the exhilaration of a fast cha cha and dancing salsa til I'm ready to drop. Would love to learn Argentine Tango and get better at West Coast Swing. It doesn't matter if I'm doing ballroom, country or Latin dancing... I just love to dance!
Other activities I enjoy are working out, swimming, boating, walking/jogging, hiking, biking, jigsaw puzzles, reading, movies, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
I'm a feelings person....sentimental and compassionate to a fault. I care about people, what makes them tick. We truly are here to learn from others and become better people. My life as a single is very full and fun but a dance partner or special person would round it out... "this time called life was meant to share."
