South Okanagan (Summerland), British Columbia
Canada
I'm passionate about ballroom dancing but only in recent years have I had the opportunity to actually learn any beyond the basics. As far as level is concerned, I rate myself somewhere between half and full bronze, and have begun to learn one or two silver moves in selected dances. I started taking lessons regularly at the beginning of 2018 and typically take two lessons (group) a week, except in summer. My goal is to become proficient (full bronze plus a silver pattern or two for good measure) in 10 or 15 different dances in the ballroom and Latin category. I am not interested in competition but I want to be worth dancing with.
My actual location is about 50 km south of Summerland, or 10 km north of Oliver. The dance parties I go to are in Penticton and Summerland. An upcoming workshop is in Kelowna, about one hour further north, but otherwise I never go that far for lessons or to dance.
I'm open to carpooling if you live south of Summerland.

I have been doing standard ballroom since early 2018 and have since entered several local competitions.
Ballroom has been my passion and interest. I would really like to reach as far as possible before the age of 35 in amateur.
I have been doing many beginner competitions and a handful of novices with a number of partners, and is looking forward to progress upwards with the right person.
I like to optimize the time spent on practices and integrates small little details into part of my lifestyle to achieve "practicing but not practicing". E.g Changing walking posture everyday. Holding the shower in frame.
I've learned mainly from:
Melvyn Low Dance Studio
NUS Ballroom
My current job allows me to have consistent free time for practices and has a full-mirrored access studio for free as staff benefits.I am currently practicing 3 days a week (~3 hours each) and irregular couple practices as my current partner is irregular in schedule.
I prefer regular practices than long practice sessions. It's better to meet up daily 1 hour than to meet once in a while for 3 hours straight.

Most recently I won 1st place in both bronze Latin and Rhythm. I would now like to compete in silver Latin, Rhythm, Standard, and Smooth. I would however consider competing in gold if my partner was very confident at that level.
My training schedule on a weekly basis consists of 8 hrs of Latin and Standard, 4.5 hrs of ballet, and 2 hrs of social dancing.
Although I am mainly seeking an amateur competition partner, I would also consider taking social lessons with someone, going social dancing (which I already do on occasion), or competing in pro-am.
If you are a professional interested in acquiring a new student for pro-am please send me a list of your credentials along with your lesson rates.

Now living on scenic seafront in St Ives, Cornwall, not far from Penzance and the Scilly Isles.
I went through Grade 8 classical piano and have interest in musical phrasing, tone colour, and rhythm. Once body language has attained fluency I would be interested in body mind and soul not just body movement -- content and poetry of dance not just body grammar. Currently having standard weekly lessons partnered by teacher.
I transcribe standard steps into notation written within bars very similar to sheet music, so that at any time I can reprise a dance phrase in context of musical phrase. I learnt ALL lady's steps so I have insight into the realities of partner dance. I regularly use slow-motion replays from DVD and YouTube -- a high-tech dancer though not a high-kicking can-can dancer ha ha ha. That would have to wait until I take you to tour Paris, taking in the Louvre, Montmartre Moulin Rouge, and dining at Hotel Meurice.
HOPING TO ATTEND BLACKPOOL FESTIVAL IN MAY 2019.
Don't let this fish slip away!!! ha ha ha. My Irish lady teacher thinks the world of me, but she is a Professional dancer and renowned Irish judge so cannot partner me in Blackpool amateur comp. My private lessons lasting one hour every Saturday morning have been intensively going through Marcus and Karen Hilton's 5-hour Simply the Best teaching DVD.

I am a very active and physically fit single female (widow), having lost my husband five years ago. I had the good fortune to be blessed with a very special relationship and wonderful marriage of 27 years. As to what I enjoy in life ... well, tennis is my passion ... a wonderful sport, it is my social life at the moment and keeps me physically fit. Among other interests that I am pursuing, ballroom dancing is at the top of the list. In addition to tennis and dancing, I enjoy the finer things in life ... good food, fine wine, dining out at favorite restaurants, theater/arts, the great out of doors, travel.

Looking to also compete in American Smooth. That will be my next challenge.

I have been dancing for 10 years studying jazz, modern, hip hop, and lyrical, but have been practicing ballroom for only 2, having been professionally dancing/teaching for the past year. I moved out of the country for several months and was not dancing for about 6 months and am recently getting back into it. My goal right now is to better my dancing as a whole to eventually compete at a professional level. I am a perfectionist and a very hard worker, not taking this passion lightly :)

I started taking dance lessons in November 2009. I've been learning bolero, cha cha, east coast swing, foxtrot, hustle, mambo, rumba, tango, viennese waltz, waltz, and west coast swing. I've also learned a few basic steps in bachata, quickstep and samba. I've performed in 4 studio showcases and 2 competitions. I just began taking group lessons in club-style hustle and west coast swing in November 2013.
