I used to teach in Seattle, WA. Now living in AZ, having a hard time meeting good dancers. I like to dance for FUN!!

I have recently started Latin ballroom classes in Fareham (as a lot of classes in Chichester will only allow couples) but I don’t have a partner to dance with. I became interested following some classes on cruises.

I've been dancing for 15 years (Fred's raised), and I was a former pro 10 years ago (Dance Vision certified), but I renounced my pro status back then. After that, I started to compete in open amateur, but I took a 5 year break because of my career path. I'm currently getting ready for North American Imperial Star Ball to brush off years of rust, but long term, I'm looking to dance American Smooth and/or International Ballroom, and looking to come back to pro one day.

Currently, my home studio I train out of is in Grand Rapids, MI, but I travel to Chicago for coaching regularly, and I'm fine with commuting as I already commute to Chicago & Indianapolis for coaching; relocating for a partnership opportunity within the Midwest is a possibility. I travel to take coaching regularly from Tommye Giacchino, Kristiina Ilo, and Gert Roslender.

I've danced collegiate while studying for my undergrad at Ball State University, and I was one of the founders for Ball State's Competitive ballroom team. A decade ago, I did pro/am, but during my undergrad, I went back to amateur to compete prechamp/champ level in the open amateur categories. I'm definitely eager to pro again, but I'd like to brush some rust off in amateur for a little bit before I come back to pro.

I am the farthest thing from a ballroom dancer you will ever see

Swing to the core

I am currently training in a dance team with a coach who uses Skippy Blair’s unit system. Her focus is alignment, relationship and rhythm as opposed to memorization of step patterns. Moves become an alphabet that I can spell into patterns in any dance language, instead of memorizing salsa language, swing language, two-step language separately. I have been training with her for over a year. Her method is conducive to fusion dance. I am limited in the time I can devote to it at the moment but I do wish to be a competitive amateur in the next 5 years and continue with my coach developing a dance community in Orange County CA. People of all ages are starving for dance venues and training in the respectful complementary relationship between partners that ballroom dance highlights. My dance teacher has some interesting analyses to share about the healthiness of relationships between her wedding dance couples based on the way they dance. I also am fascinated by the therapeutic integration benefits of dance.

I am a massage therapy student and massage has a lot in common with dance if done well.

Basically, I believe dance should be a freeing holistic experience and not enslavement to step patterns. It should be fun and a chance to make a real healthy, positive connection with partners.

I'm able to follow you at Social, Bronze, Silver and some Gold. Therefore, very versatile in all types of dance. Also an ICBDA member (aka International Choreographed Ballroom Association) and attended 2013 Convention at Grand Sierra, Reno, Nevada. Most proficient in Round Dance Level 4plus aka Choreographed Ballroom which encompasses all styles i.e.: Nightclub, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Rumba, Bolero, Swing, West Coast, Cha, Salsa, Mambo and 2-Step. So, I'm quite versatile and light on my feet. Unexpectedly widowed. Had one fabulous, long marriage with mutual dance and travel interest. We danced all over the US and Overseas. Also, had linguistic career. Very easy going; pleasant personality and bits and pieces proportional. Sample dancing on request.

Looking forward to make your acquaintance.

Been ballroom latin and sequence dancing for 6 years now and I am passionate about dancing I dance socially but do not have a regular partner

Looking for a partner in Savannah, Hinesville, or Hilton Head Area.

I've been told am a good follower and have great rhythm My goal is to improve technique for social dancing, and I am open to training for performance dancing. Currently, I have accepted the challenge of performing a Quickstep routine at the studio I frequent, and ironically Salsa and American Rhythm, especially East Coast Swing, Cha-Cha and Rumba, are my favorites!

Dance it's fun . Just enjoy life , will travel for good dance and music

Hello I use to dance many many years ago in the 1970's when the hustle was the in dance. I love to dance and would make an excellent partner. Dancing is excellent exercise. I am a great follower and quick to pick up new dances and moves.

Experience teaching and competing collegiate ballroom prior to working for a studio - competed in 9 dance and formerly theatre arts. Due to partner split, I am seeking a new partner.

Many years of dance experience. More than 5 years of dance teaching experience. I also have the skills to create music from scratch, I work in many creative directions. And my plans and ambitions are much greater than just becoming a world champion. Dancing is my life

I’m a good follower. I have never had formal training but I love dancing and am anxious to learn!

Weekly lessons, performance

Hi there and thanks for reading

I live in Balsall Common close to Solihull (Birmingham way)have previously danced to IDTA Gold Star 4 in both, but need to refresh and relearn routines. About 10-15 years experience all-in, but not much for the last 5 or so. Have kept my hand in (well feet in) occasionally so still have a good overall ability, even if the routine isn't there. I also work away in Manchester for part of the week and often stay up there for a night or 2 - so open to possible partners in the North West if weeknight practice is a possibility.

I'm about 5'10", have never danced competition, and not really sure if that's where I want to go - however I'm willing to give it a try if we work out well. Time for me is limited with a young family, and weekends not very convenience at all, but if a week night suits (including Friday) drop me line and we can maybe book a try-out.

My dancing picture was taken a good few years ago, about 10 or more I reckon...... some more recent pics if you go into gallery.

I started taking individual and group classes for about 7 months. I dance 4-5 days a week, work hard, and am critical of my progress. I have been working on learning the American 9 primary, but also do some social Latin and country, planning to be able to compete Q2 next yr. My goal is to be a solid competitive dancer and move through the syllabus as quickly as I can. In gaining these skills I would like to dance more socially.

Hello! I've been dancing for about 11 years now and dancing professionally for 5. My last partner and I were competing in RS and Open rhythm for the past 3 years and consistently made a callback at each competition placing in the middle of most groups. I'm dedicated to seeing how great I can become and am always looking for the most productive way to climb up the ballroom ranks.
