I began dancing when I was 17 years old. I quickly found that I had a passion for ballroom and shortly thereafter joined the competitive circuit. For four years I competed in ballroom dance collegiately for Purdue University and then UNC – Chapel Hill. My love for ballroom continued to grow during my time competing. I took every opportunity I could to dance which shortly led me into a professional teaching position. After years of intense studying, competing, training, and coaching, I now teach over 30 different styles of dance.

During my years of competitive and professional ballroom dance experience, I began to realize that dance, more than being entertaining, is an incredibly powerful form of expression. Dance allows you to feel things about yourself and about the world around you that you may have never experienced before. It allows you to express yourself in a genuine, meaningful way simple words just can't.

Perhaps most importantly, I have come to realize that dance is a medium through which you can release stress, anger, frustration, sadness, turmoil, uncertainty, and depression, along with many other emotions. Dance encourages you to understand yourself, to acknowledge and engage with your emotions, and find healing to grow past longstanding obstacles.

I have founded Move with Grace with these ideas in mind. In learning how to dance, I put great emphasis on the comfort of my students. We all have different pasts we’ve overcome, challenges we face, and goals we hope to achieve. I believe that ballroom dance is an art which can facilitate great change in the lives of individuals, and it is to this end that I now teach one of the world’s oldest art forms.

Professional dancer and choreographer with 31 years of experience in International Latin and International Standard (10 dances). I hold a university degree in Choreography, officially recognized in Europe. I spent many years living and competing at a professional level in Japan, representing the country in major dance events. While my primary expertise is International Latin, I also have a strong technical background in International Standard. My goals include professional competitions, show performances, teaching, and choreographic projects.

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.

My passion is ice-skating and recent years I've developed a passion for dancing and for anything anything else you want to know about me feel free to ask

I learn salsa at varies dance schools in N.Y. and Florida over the years and consider myself intermediate in salsa.. I don't smoke or drink. I am open to other dances like hustle, tango I just love to dance period. I just don't have a reliable partner to move forward to my best ability. I would be willing o go to class for practice and learn new dances. Don't judge the book by its cover. I am not your typical senior I've had to show ID to prove my age. More physically fit than your average 50 year old and look it as well. I am only quoting what has been told to me. I am not clingy, both have space to intermingle, but not neglect each other.

I always loved dancing and now that I am semi-retired, I want to be really good at it. It's one of the l ways I can express my freedom, happiness and love of life. I am a newbie but I am very enthusiastic and a good learner.

I am at my happiest when I am dancing !

Open to learning new dances/styles and quite happy to dance at any level just for the fun of it.

I approach each dance as if it was my very last one (with all my heart and the corresponding emotion).

I started learning Int. Latin in November 2022 and competing in February 2023, but have been dancing socially since 2021. I’ve participated in several Latin comps and a couple Country comps so far. I would like to continue competing and social dancing with a partner.

I’m an easy-going semi-retired high school teacher who just loves to go dancing. I’m searching for my ultimate dance partner.

I’m PAST THE BEGINNER STAGE, in most dances, except maybe the Slow Foxtrot, and I'm working hard to change that. I would classify myself as at or beyond Bronze level in most other dances.

My ultimate dance partner should be able to:

STEP lightly

SMILE confidently

MOVE gracefully

FOLLOW knowingly

SHIFT rhythmically

SWAY intuitively

MERGE willingly

CONNECT beautifully

And the REST will come NATURALLY!

I was a professional ballet dancer for several years, and when I "retired" due to an injury, I began ballroom dancing around 2012. For the past several years I have been competing pro-am smooth at open level, a few competitions per year. (I also did Latin and standard many years ago and would be interested in picking them back up, especially standard.) I currently dance at Ballroom Village in Loudon County, VA and have done coachings through that studio and through dance camps across the country.

Hello! I have about 10 years experience in International Ballroom Dances (La, St) and I loved participating in competitions. Also I enjoy ballet dancing, reggeton, hustle, bachata and other social dancing - just for fun. I love to discover new dance styles and learn something new.

I've practiced Ballet for almost 15 years, then I discovered partner social dancing and I fell in love with it. I started with Salsa and Bachata, then Swing and finally ended up taking ballroom/dancesport training classes 4 years ago.

I have been competing in the US for 3 years now, and I have reached the gold level in collegiate.

I LOVE to dance! Started way back when I caught Disco fever and have never stopped. I've danced most styles (especially love old style Latin music). Over the years, I've evolved into more of a "feel" type dancer, meaning I dance from my gut and my heart, let the music get inside and then ooze out of me as it inspires my body movement.

Background in ballet. I have been learning International Latin, American Rhythm and Smooth for the last 3 years (competing for the last 2 years). I have coaches in Vancouver, BC - Dale Neale for American Smooth and Vlada and Alexey Karaulov for Latin. Goals are to compete in Canada and US NDCA/NDCC sanctioned events, at least 2 per year.

Getting weary of 'no partner required' dancing.

I love dancing to live music. I want to learn more Lindy Hop moves- I already know the basics. I haven’t had lessons but I’d like to try some acrobatic dancing .But, I love all kinds of music.I go out dancing Friday, Saturday, , Sunday, and sometimes Tuesday ., sometimes for 6 hours at a time . I love R&B, hip-hop, jazz ,Irish music, cover bands are fun . I can also waltz and polka .I also take power walks every day, and do yoga weekly, in addition to dancing ( to stay in shape).
