I've been learning International Standard and Latin for about a year at a local studio. I have some training in other dance styles from several years back (jazz, tap, ballet). I'm interested in learning and improving as much as I can. I would like to work towards performing and competing.

I've been ballroom dancing for about 11 years now, first doing pro-am competition, and more recently competing at the amateur level (in International Latin). At the pro-am level, I've competed in the Latin, Rhythm, and American Smooth styles. I did fairly well competitively, especially with Latin and Rhythm, and have won a fair number of scholarships in some of the larger competitions. On the amateur side, I competed at the pre-champ and open levels in Latin. My partner and I won the pre-champ division in our age level, and then made the final in open Latin at the USA Dance national championships in 2010. Prior to ballroom, I spent about 18 years doing ballet, tap, jazz, and modern. I love everything there is about dance--I think it's part of my soul, and who I am. I want to keep growing and improving in this sport/art, but most of all, I want to have fun doing that!
I've been told I'm a talented dancer. I hope that's true (I'm always full of doubts, of course!), but I know I'm a hard worker, very devoted to dancing, and I'll work my butt off getting reading for a competition or performance. I've had coaching from some of the best in the business, and I'll be forever grateful for the insight, support, and advice these wonderful coaches have given me.
Professionally, I'm a scientist, and have my own business doing consulting work in the biotech world. I'm pretty athletic, I run a lot (and used to compete in running too), lift weights, and do yoga regularly. I'm also a pretty serious mountain climber. I've climbed both in the United States and in South America in the Andes, and I hope to climb Mt. McKinley in Alaska in the very near future (it's on my Bucket List!) I also have what I think is a pretty unique hobby--once I summit a mountain, I do a little dance on the top. I think it's quite possible that I hold the world record for a high altitude samba (20,700 feet on Chimborazo in Ecuador). If you know anyone who's done the samba at a higher elevation than that, I don't want to hear about it.
Oh yeah, I also love dogs and have a great Labrador retriever named Newton. He is truly the best dog on the planet.

I used to dance many years ago and decided to return to the floor over this last year. I danced in the Medalist of the Year competition (IDTA) this year and made the national finals at Blackpool where I was placed 2nd in ballroom and 6th in Latin. I would now like to find a partner to dance in the League with as well

I have been dancing ballroom and latin on and off for about 20 years but did not have a regular partner until 2019 and our progress was interrupted by covid restrictions. Unfortunately a foot injury now means my partner can no longer dance. I would say I am a proficient social dancer in ballroom and latin. I have been dancing modern jive for about twenty years and I am very good at it but go regularly to the same venue so do not need a partner for this but am very willing to int0rduce a potential partner.

I have no dance background, inspired to dance recently and want to push myself and practice as much as I can. I am a little hard on myself but easy to work with others. I have thought about competing but it’s not something that I’m focused on. Sadly my schedule is a little tight. I work Sunday- Friday. Only available Saturday all day and every other day 8am to 1pm.

I stared dancing at 18 when I took my first dance class as in college. I had no idea it would be so fun. I ended up dancing all through college and was even in Ballet company for a few years I previously had a handful of Ballroom. Swing, and salsa classes over the years and Always wanted to do more partner dancing so I'm open to pretty much any style. I recently picked up Country dancing and am most interested in country dancing.

So, who says that a woman can't find a man who really loves to dance? Here I am! If there is a woman out there who is seeking a dedicated social dance partner with determination to advance, then look no further! To excel at any one endeavor, I feel like you have to specialize and dance is what I've chosen for that purpose. While always striving to keep dancing fun, I do take it seriously and I have the ambition to work at being the best that I can be. I believe that a serious dancer progresses better and more rapidly by having a steady partner. In addition to my motivation and enthusiasm, it is my appreciation for and my loyalty and devotion to my partner and the way that I express it that sets me apart from others. While I am confident that I'm a good social dancer right now, I know that I still have a long ways to go. I've been dancing a long time, but I still want to learn and I am willing to practice. I'm particularly interested in doing more with hustle, west coast swing and salsa/mambo. I am open to learning new dances. I'm flexible in terms of whether I am either the more experienced dancer or at a lesser skill level than my partner (I am receptive to being coached/trained if my partner has the background and interest in doing so). When not dancing, I enjoy roller coasters, water parks, beaches, going to sporting events and playing pickleball. Being retired, I'd like to go on cruises with a companion, particularly cruises that include social dancing. Please note that I'm not a paid up full member, so I can't respond to greetings.

I started at age 8 being part of an art academy which involved singing, acting, dancing. I learned jazz partner dancing and tap then later on in middle school I took ballet, hip hop and belly dance classes and in highschool I decided to try ballroom and fell inlove with it.

I have a strong background in ballroom dancing — I trained and competed professionally for about 10 years, taking part in various championships and also teaching for a year at a dance school. My main focus was International Latin and Standard, but I also enjoyed Salsa and Social Ballroom.
Although I stepped away from dancing about 7 years ago, I deeply miss it. Dance has always been my passion, my way to recharge, and a source of happiness. Now I want to bring this discipline and joy back into my life. My goal is to rebuild my dance form, regain flexibility, and reconnect with the techniques I once mastered.
At this stage, I am open to practicing independently with a partner, creating choreographies together, and — if needed — taking private lessons later to refine technique.

Ever encountered the unease of dancing, particularly in the shadow of a former flame who happened to be a professional dancer? Picture this: an attempt to impress, met with a symphony of missteps. A tale of two left feet that rivaled any dance disaster.
Yet fear not, for I embarked on a journey of private lessons, turning the clumsy shuffle into a salsa spectacle. Today, not only do I have confidence on the dance floor, but I also find myself in the role of co-instructor for salsa and bachata group classes. A transformation beyond my wildest expectations.
My dance odyssey unfolds with a clear mission — to become well versed and capable of captivating a room with both sophisticated moves and a touch of clever banter. Envision a well-trained partner, committed to refining skills through frequent classes and lessons, poised to continue growing and now helping others overcome their fears of dancing.

I have been dancing Salsa and Bachata on and off for about 18 years at dance socials in Central NJ and Northern NJ, and have done couples and group choregraphed performances for these dances at dance studios in the past. I've also learned Argentine Tango, Cha Cha, Rumba, Mambo, and Merengue. I'd like to learn beginner levels of Ballroom dances next, so that I can attend Ballroom/Latin dance socials and dance to any song that comes on. I'd also like to advance my skills in Argentine Tango and the various Latin dances, and have a dance partner to attend private lessons and practice with.

I began ballroom dancing about 15 years ago and consider myself a solid bronze-level dancer, although I’m comfortable following a more advanced lead. I haven’t focused heavily on advancing through additional levels simply because finding a compatible dance partner in my area who can confidently lead at my current level has been challenging.
That’s what brought me here! I would love to meet a dance partner who, like me, truly enjoys ballroom dancing and would like to have someone to share it with. While I would be very comfortable dancing with someone more advanced, I’m equally open to a partner who is less experienced than I am. Skill level is not nearly as important to me as having a good connection, enjoying our time on the dance floor, and being willing to learn and improve together.
I’m a good follower, enjoy learning, and would be happy to continue developing my skills alongside the right partner. Most of all, I miss the enjoyment and connection that comes from dancing with someone who loves it as much as I do.

I am fully COVID-19 vaccinated with Pfizer 2 shots.
Right now I am focusing on International Ballroom technique with an exceptional instructor. Would love to have a partner to practice with at least on some weekends then go to social dancing. At socials I find it very difficult to get a partner for International dances. I am so happy when I get somebody for VW - which is my favorite dance. I have five years of intensive private lessons and some social dancing.

I took up ballroom dancing around 8 years ago, and had a regular partner for around 4 years.
For most of this time I've had weekly lessons at a local dance school in Kendal during which I worked towards the medal examinations each year. In 2016 I achieved gold in Ballroom and silver in Argentine Tango, and in 2017 gold in Latin and gold in Argentine Tango.
I also go to whatever other classes are available, Argentine Tango about twice a month with the odd workshop, also occasional salsa classes and modern jive. I enjoy the discipline of ballroom and latin dances, and the freedom and expression of the Argentine Tango. I enjoy interpreting music in movement and when the music is playing I never seem to tire and will be on the floor all night.
After this my dance school closed and I have a lot less opportunities for dancing. I am therefore considering travelling further afield. The Blackpool Tower is just over an hour's drive and would be a good location for potential try-outs.

I'm passionate about Argentine tango and I dance about three to four times a week. Two classes/workshops and two good milongas usually.
I prefer estilo milonguero and the music from the Golden Age of tango, mainly Pugliese, but also Troilo, Demare, or De Angelis. Not very much into alternative...

I love to dance! In the 1980's I danced 7 nights a week, 4
+ hours a night. I learned WHIP/WCS from Gilbert Huron and some SWWC.
I'm not a Ballroom trained dancer. I want to learn Argentine Tango. I am a dedicated learner and am coachable; desiring a dance partner who is interested in having fun while wanting to be the best we can be.
I am happiest when on the dance floor connecting with my partner. I can think of nothing better in life than to be able to study partner dance and teach it. I am at a point in my life where I would like to do nothing but dance and teach it. I learned to dance during the URBAN COWBOY days in the early 1980's in Houston TX. I am able to move to any part of the country if the right situation presents itself; I'd need to find a job to cover room and board expenses and have a partner who is dedicated to learning and then maybe teaching dance. My favorites now are West Coast Swing, Night Club 2-step and CW. Happiest days of my life were when I would go to work, get off at 5 o'clock, go home, shower, shave and get ready to dance until 2am. I was very much in demand in Houston as a social dance partner.
