I just started to learn how to dance. I have to travel 1.5 hours to attend lessons as there are no studios or teachers nearby. I'd love to be a great dancer in multiple types of dance: ballroom like cha cha, foxtrot, rumba, tango etc. I love to dance to big band music like Frank Sinatra.

I love to dance. It is something I have always been passionate about. I started dance about 7 years ago when I began teaching science at a small high school. My students encouraged me to sponsor their ballroom dance team as a faculty adviser. Watching them perform reminded me of how much I missed dancing and how much it defined me. Over the past 5 years I've competed novice and pre-championship international latin (and a little Novice WCS) with my previous amateur partner. I have danced WCS and Salsa socially and have done some beginning level instruction in WCS, Salsa, NC2S, and international latin. I don't see myself as a pro, but have seemed to fall into the instructor role in the communities I have lived in because the need is there (and likely because as a high school classroom teacher it is relatively natural for me to share what I know in an accessible way that promotes fun and inclusion).
Instruction, however, is not my goal. I really want to continue my OWN learning and part of that journey includes regular instruction from top rated pros and competition. At this time, I'm really interested in developing connection and playing with expression through connection. I need a partner to help me in this growth. I am willing to do this in multiple styles, however, I would expect my partner to reciprocate. For example, if your focus is Salsa, I'm happy to train and compete with you, and will dedicate focus and energy towards your passions. But, it is essential that we spend equal time on a dance in my area of specialty (either latin or WCS). I think breadth of instruction and training makes all dancers better. The longer I dance the more I see the potential to learn and borrow from different styles, so cross training is a big thing for me. I work out several times per week to stay cardio-vascularly fit, am studying dance kinesiology, and I am training in acroyoga.
If I am to reach my goals I'm going to need to find a partner who is equally committed to a regular practice and training schedule. I'm prepared to invest in lessons, travel, and competitions. I prefer to train weekends and weekdays during the early evening. Sorry, my work has me up early in the mornings so evenings after 8 don't work for me. Please contact me if you are interested in a serious training partner. I am in no way interested in pursuing anything other than a professional relationship. Please contact me if you have interest in pursuing a potentially competitive partnership.

Iam a positive grounded person who loves to dance. I am also looking to have someone special in my life. If I could find both qualities in one person it would be wonderful. I have taken ballroom dance classes over the years and love disco. Having someone to do this with on a regular basis would be great.
I am at a point in my life where I have the freedom to go out and grab some happiness. My children are now self sufficient and now it is time for me.

I have very little dance experience; however, I would love to learn. I have started Zumba aerobics to improve my fitness level and coordination. I am trying diligently to look less like a beached whale and more like the talented and energetic dancer that I know is hidden somewhere deep inside me. Unfortunately, I sweat profusely and my skin turns reddish when I exercise; I am not sure there is much I can do about these problems.

Dancing is my passion. I have had many years of private lessons with a variety of teachers and have attended numerous group classes, workshops, and dance camps. While I appreciate and pay attention to good posture and technique, I am a spirited dancer who enjoys flair, drama, length of stride, energy and speed where appropriate. My teachers and partners all tell me I am a superb follower, unusually flexible, and very light and easy to lead. I naturally smile when dancing and tend to laugh when a mistake is made - dancing to me is more than just artistic expression; it is an expression of my joie de vivre and pure fun. However, music is my inspiration, and the quality of music affects my enjoyment. I play piano and some violin and guitar, and love to sing along. I enjoy most forms of music, from classical to electronic, and it plays a major role in my life. (Although I must admit, so do my dogs and my grandsons.)
I would like to maintain and improve my skills, especially in quickstep, Viennese Waltz, and tango; I tend to find fewer partners interested in the higher levels of these dances. I also want to learn more Argentine Tango, Lindy, Balboa, and country dances and would be happy to find partners that specialize. I am cheerful, kindhearted, very patient with my partner, and I have lots of energy and stamina. I have never sat out a dance due to fatigue and recently danced over 7 hours straight at a jazz festival - mostly fast swings, quicksteps and Balboa. However I am a many-faceted person and can be equally immersed in a slow, dramatic Bolero.
I can be flexible about where, when and how often we dance. I am also flexible about my partner's skill. Energy and enthusiasm, and a love of moving to music, are sufficient for social dancing.
Currently I dance on a couple of formation teams. I would be happy with one regular partner who "does it all," but am equally fine with several part-time partners or specialists in one or a few dances. I would like to avoid extensive driving, but will make an exception for a partner who is a good fit. I'd like to attend more social dances with a partner, at Rossmoor, at senior centers, at dance studios, at clubs - any styles of dancing.

Started Arthur Murray dance back in the 1990's, finished the bronze syllabus and some silver, moved to Illinois where there was no American style, so studied a little International as I got ready for my wedding. Wife does not share this passion with me after all, so for decades have been out of the dance scene until now that my divorce is almost finished.
Dance to me is is about creativity and freedom of expression, leading, guiding and protecting my partner to let her feel safe and free to shine. A beautiful mingling of masculine and feminine energies. I love watching my partner light up under my lead. I was inspired to dance after watching the movie "Shall We Dance?" (original Japanese version), and have been hooked ever since my first dance lesson.

I've been going to ballroom and latin dance classes for about 2 years now. At the moment I am dancing with the teacher's assistant, which is great but it would be nice to have a dancing partner on a reasonably regular basis. I enjoy the social side of dancing and like making new friends but am not looking for a relationship.

I have been dancing a little more than 5 years with a focus on international standard up until this past year. I have competed with my instructor in Boston, NYC, Conn, and DC at the Bronze and Silver level. My instructor is no longer teaching and I am currently at a major name studio and competing in American smooth at the silver level. I enjoy the rhythm dances (salsa, hustle, swing, cha-cha, bolero) as well but have not done as much competing with those dances.

I love dancing and music and am looking for a partner who can teach me a lot more or would like to learn with me! I also play piano and love going to concerts! Tango is my favorite of the ballroom dances that I have been learning. I am now learning the Argentine Tango and loving it. I think I have found my dance calling. Would love to find a partner that feels the same way.
