Looking at the Dance Proficiency section has me confused. I think I'm more than a beginner, but the competitions I've been in I have competed Bronze. That's what I dance mostly, though I do know a few Silver patterns. But the reality of a crowded dance floor and a different partner every dance limit what I can do.

I've marked both the dances I currently do, and some I'd like to learn. Currently, I dance mostly American Smooth and Rhythm, plus some Country, and am learning QuickStep. International interests me, especially Standard, but I need the right partner. I'd like to learn Lindy, maybe Argentine Tango at some point, but again, the right partner is key.

I'm primarily a social dancer, but would like to meet a regular partner to practice with. I enjoy pushing myself to learn new things, and a regular partner could help that along.

If I find the right partner, I might be interested in competition, I've done some in the past, actually kind of enjoyed the Arthur Murray Showcases when I was taking lessons there. They promote the competitions as a way for social dancers to focus their lessons and give them some urgency, and they actually organize their events for people like that. Most importantly, they finish the events with a dinner dance, which gives me something to look forward to and a reward for spending a day when I should be hiking or biking or skiing or snowshoeing inside in a crowded, noisy room.

The place I take lessons at now has much better instructors, and they sell the competitions the same way, but the organizers do absolutely nothing to appeal to someone who is a social dancer and wants to focus their lessons.

The dances I like most are Viennese, slow Waltz, Bolero, Night-Club 2-Step, Country (especially triple-2-step), EC Swing, Rhumba. I'd like to get better at all of them, plus polka, bachatta, WC Swing, maybe Lindy and/or Argentine Tango.

Dancing is only one activity I enjoy. I'm mostly an outdoors kind of guy, and very self-sufficient in most ways. I'm also pretty introverted, although that surprises people. Probably since I've been in jobs where I have been in front of people. I can function in a social space, but sometimes it's hard. Former jobs include Wine Steward at several top area restaurants (that was the best of them). Now I stare at "glowing rectangles" (computer screens) way too much every day. Money's better, but other than that....

I started with ballroom dancing in mid-2016, and moved to (mostly) Argentine Tango in early 2017. My love of Tango has grown steadily since then. Before the pandemic, I had private lessons weekly and studied/danced Tango an average of one hour daily. I am beginning to dance with partners again now that other vaccinated dancers are more readily available.

Hello, you can call me Riah for now. I am a 20 year old Acrobat, Contortionist, and Aerialist who has been taking Acrobatic Arts classes for 5 years and Aerial Silks classes for 2 years. I even taught a level 1-2 Acrobatics class for 2 years and it was one of my favorite jobs. I have been out of the swing of things since Covid, which has weakened my back and most importantly irritated my sciatic nerve. I would like to get back in shape with a partner by my side and specialize in Acrobatic Dance. (Though I am open to trying anything. I LOVE ballet and contemporary, I just have never been formally trained.) I still have my splits, can still climb my silks, and overall am still in decent shape, so it won't take long for me to get back in the swing of things.

I started many years ago at Arthur Murray and learned many of their basic dances - waltz and rumba being my favorites. It being the era, I moved into the discotheques and did some low level competition. Although my husband and I did a lot of dancing, once we were married he was no longer interested. I would like to start again - I have missed it.

I have always danced. Since I was 10 when I did classical ballet I have learnt jazz ballet, african, tip tap, ballroom, latin American, Italian folk and Greek folk.

Love to dance. A place for me to grow, learn and express through music and movements. I have been dancing American Rhythm and Ballroom style for almost 10 years. Also salsa, bachata, hustle, west coast swing social dancing. I would love to have a partner to compete, train and grow together.

I’ve been dancing since my childhood, right now after a short break would love to start ballroom again, willing to compete. Can dance with a partner that is intermediate to advanced level.

I've enjoyed dancing competitive Latin for years. I want to continue practicing and competing.

Over five years of dance experience in smooth and rhythm. Teaching and training with all levels. Competed regional and national with students and professional.

I really enjoy dancing and want to do it more often with a partner. Most of my experience is salsa dancing but I love all different types and would love to get into more of the different ballroom dances. I am a fast learner and a good follower.

I've been competing in the same-sex ballroom circuit for about 10 years. I have the most experience as a leader, but I can also follow if my partner is tall enough. Ideally I'd like to do International Latin or Standard, but I'm open to other possibilities such as practice or training.

good rhythm, natural coordination, nimble feet, and lots of enthusiasm! taking lessons/practice twice a week and progressing rapidly. patient learner; on other fronts, luv to cook, garden, any sport (but NOT a jock); luv kids and work with them in Haiti .. often; great sense of humour; will travel for the right partner; happy to date - again, with the right partner but at the moment dating is secondary to dance.

Intermediate bronze level dancer with a Fred Astaire studio. I dance Argentine Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, and am just starting to learn Salsa. My goal is to dance showcase and intermediate competition. I enjoy choreography and experimenting with new music and steps. I'm taking 4-6 lessons a week and practicing 2-3 times a week. Looking for a partner in the Richmond, VA, DC, or Virginia Beach area who wants to learn and improve together. Open to all smooth and most latin dances. I'm retired military and stay in good shape with dancing, exercise and golf. I'm working in real estate so I have a flexible schedule and open to travel. At 5'6" with an athletic build I'm looking for a shorter, slim partner. Thought for a while I would wake up one morning at 6'2" and a Bradley Cooper twin but that just didn't happen. I also enjoy red wine, good food, chocolate and cheese and love to cook. Age is not a concern. I love Argentine Tango, rumba and all the smooth dances.

New to dancing, would like a regular partner. Have been exposed to two-step, west coast swing, east coast swing, tango, waltz, rhumba, hustle.
