I danced ballroom competition in 4 styles for the decade of my teens. I have recently returned to dancing, and re-finding all my old skills as the rust comes off. I am not sure if I want to go back to competitive dancing or not, but I want to be able to dance at that level of quality again. My favourite dances are Viennese waltz, LaBomba, Twilight Waltz, Tango and Samba. I quite like English Old Time as well.

The thing I love about dancing is getting in the zone, where everything seems to vanish and the movements come like magic.

I am happy to travel about an hour in any direction for dancing, I usually dance at Morisset and Gosford.

I am friendly and energetic, I like to dance as hard as I can regardless of setting, I don't like to just shuffle through the steps at socials.

I have been learning to speak Welsh, it isn't a language option here - so a Welsh speaker or learner would be a great bonus.

I have recently had my first child and not yet back in shape, later evening Friday and weekends are the only regular times I am available currently until I am back working and have childcare arranged on a regular basis.

Looking to perfect Latin dancing, need practice.

Hi, thank you for taking your time.

I am a japanese woman living in new york.

I belonged to a ballroom dance club when i was in university in japan.

I used to do chacha, samba, rumba, waltz, tango, foctrot, quickstep.

Now I want to get back into dancing after a break.

I am interested in salsa, argentine tango too.

Have danced for 30+ years- teach ballet, tap, jazz and lyrical. Use to ballroom dance - looking to get back to it after a 5 year break

I am an attractive Latina dancer that just wants to dance, rehearse and practice cool dance moves and invent new ones. I have studied International Ballroom classes, and love Cha Cha, salsa, argentine tango and salsa, but have danced pretty much everything. I love to dance and am looking to start rehearsing!

More than getting the steps right," I like connecting with a dance partner and enjoying the flow of our moving together. My former dance instructor assures me I've been dancing at the silver/gold level for years even though I never completed an official program of study. I've been told by dancers at all levels that I'm a very good follower and easy to lead. I love the vast language of ballroom and other dancing and am particularly fond of Latin dancing.

I have been a dancer most of my life (primarily ballet, but also some tap and jazz when I was younger). In my professional life I am a music theorist and teach at a university. I started ballroom dancing about 20 years ago after some ballet injuries. I started with American smooth and rhythm, then switched to Latin and standard. My primary focus over the last number of years has been standard. I quit dancing during covid and just started up again less than a year ago so I am a bit rusty. I am currently taking classes and private lessons, and hope to make up for lost time! At this point, I'm concentrating mostly on International Standard. At some point I might like to start competing again, but for now, some family commitments don't allow for the time needed for that. So I stick to social dancing for now. I'd be open to possibly sharing lessons with my instructor or yours. I go social dancing primarily at Dance New England in N. Chelmsford, Sabor in Wellesley and SuperShag in Waltham. If those places work for you, I'd be happy to hear from you.

Hi and thanks for reading my details. I am a white male 5 8" tall light brown hair, blue eyes. Athletic build non smoker. I had been dancing some years ago then stopped. I restarted about 4 years ago and dance several times a week. I can do Ballroom , Latin, Tango Chacha and Salsa. I like to get it right when dancing the technique and style are important to me. I do not like to just walk the steps.I try and put some passion into the dance to give it some life and energy. This I think improves the enjoyment for both dancers. because if you are not enjoying it why do it ?.

I could make my self available for the right person if I find one.

I am always willing to learn new steps, or dances. So don't be afraid if you are better than me I enjoy a challenge and am a quick learner.

I hope that is enough information for now

Should you want more information I will reply thanks again and hope to hear from you soon.

LIFE'S DANCE: I could gaze endlessly at the stars on a summer's night or dance forever in the moonlight at the beach. I CONSIDER EVERY ENCOUNTER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FUN, TO ENRICH SOMEONE'S LIFE AND TO ENRICH MY OWN. I enjoy having as many different types of relationships with people as there are people in my life. I like to be silly and lighthearted, but prefer to get to know someone on a deeper level .............

THE DANCER IN ME: I have had many years of ballet and more recently intermediate ballroom dance instruction and experience. I would make myself available to dance on some weekday evenings and weekends. I dance almost daily in my living room but am seeking to once again dance with a partner !

I have been told I am light on the dance floor and may learn more quickly because of all the ballet classes, but I know I there is more to learn in ballroom. I am open to friendship also but that's all right now.

Someday, I MAY WANT TO DANCE WITH A PARTNER WHO WOULD BECOME MY LIFE'S PARTNER, BUT FOR NOW JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN AND DANCE !

My interest is American Smooth and American Rhythm.

I've competed in silver smooth and standard, have let go of rhythm for a while (still dance it socially), so that's an ecclectic mix of silver and bronze. I also enjoy a good two step. Since the dancing in IA is limited, I look for dance opportunities when I travel and often use this site to ask about dance opportunities. I learned to dance in Nashville (TN), great dance community and incredible teachers, I still visit and train there with Shalene Archer when I have the time to compete. Since earning tenure at my University, I've been able to make more time to dance. I dance mostly in the St. Paul area (a very rich dance community, lots a great dancers and people), though it does require some travel. There, I get to work with Julie Jacobson-Kendle. I feel very fortunate in my teachers, both are former US Champions, which makes up for a certain lack of talent on my part. I also travel to Seattle (family, friends, and dancing), Rochester (MN), Chicago, and sometimes Kansas City. I got to see the Russian Nationals in St. Petersburg a few of years ago, that was fabulous. Locally, I dance in Iowa City, sometimes in Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, and occasionally the Quad Cities and Chicago.

As you can tell from the photos, I compete. But while I enjoy competitions, for me, dancing is primarily about the joy and artistry of the movement. It's a spiritual and artistic high to dance one's whole body in (near) perfect unison with another who is able to do the same. It's also about building communities...I was fortunate to learn to dance in a very rich and diverse dance community. While I'm not a dance teacher (I know my limitations), since we have few decent teachers in Iowa, I've tried to pass on what I've learned both to build up the dance community wherever I'm at. That's also how I end up having local partners with whom to dance. Sadly, my main Iowa dance partner has now moved to MN (good for her, I sometimes stay with her when I visit, but it means I have fewer well trained partners here.) She's now training with one of the top teachers up there, who, after then first lesson, told her that there was no point in her competing in bronze, he's taking her straight to silver.

I also try to stay in decent shape. But I had hip and shoulder surgery (no replacement parts) a while ago, so I'm just now getting back to where I can exercise more fully. I'm a bit heavier than the dance photos, that's been due to limitations on activity for the past couple of years.

I like to mix up salsa, cha-cha, bachata, swing. Not a professional, but would like to have a steady dance partner to go out and enjoy live music and practice.

I am not a member so if you would like me to write back you should upgrade to gold. Just sayin'. I was taking private lessons and that got a bit expensive so I now go to a group class 2-3 times a week . I have done aerobics for most of my life so I pick things up fast.

I learned some basic waltz, foxtrot and polka from my parents. I began taking lessons 2 years ago and have done lessons in slow waltz, cha cha, single rhythm swing, rumba, bachata, night club 2 step, jive, quick step and west coast swing. I'm enjoying dancing very much and can't seem to get enough! Now that I have learned a number of dance styles I'd like to progress at ballroom dancing. Since I don't have a paid subscription I can't read or reply to messages. However if you see me at a dance...

I love country western dancing! I’ve been dancing for several years and would happily dance to every song if I had a willing and able partner.

Salsa dance beginner advanced.

Bachata no formal training

Some ballroom dancing.

I do my best to be a follower.

10 years competitive pro-amateur ballroom; 4 years amateur competitive ballroom; 3 years teaching. I have not danced in multiple years and would like to enjoy my most joyous activity again.

At the risk of alienating anyone, I'm a fan of DWTS, but I don't want to just watch anymore. I believe every song has a dance and some are more obvious than others. Some songs I've listened to for years, visualizing the routines, even tweaking them now and then. At heart I'm a storyteller, and dancing is simply another way to tell a story.

I'm not looking for love, per se, but I would be happy to find it.

I've studied Argentine tango for 3+years and want to find a partner with whom I can take lessons, practice and attend milongas. I've also taking ballroom and Latin dance lessons for a few years. I'd love to find a partner for social dancing - especially bachata, salsa, swing (East Coast or West Coast) and a little smooth.

I am qualified to Professional Level in Ballroom, Latin American and Classical Sequence but I am not active as a Dance Professional.

＜In London on 30th January to 5th April 2020＞

I have a schedule to visit London on 30th January to 5th April 2020.

I’d love to see local dancers and have opportunities for try-outs, if possible. It would glad if you let me know when you are interested in try-outs!

＜In general＞

I have practiced Standard dedicatedly since 2009 and still been in training. In addition, I’m doing gym workout and functional training, so there is no difficulty about my athletic performance, I believe.

My goals are to compete, perform and outperform other competitors.

It has passed 5 years since I have been away from competitions, for it is so difficult to find a partner tall enough to my height in Japan.

Therefore, I am strongly interested in international partnerships, and of course, I am willing to travel and relocate if needed.

I have mainly practiced Standars, but I am not experienced much about Latin.

I would love to compete in 10 dance division in the future, however, it would be alright focusing on Standard considering from potential possibility.

My past results worth to mention and workout routine are as follows.

It would be glad if you could contact me.

I grew up dancing variety of styles. I have been taking ballroom for a few years. I am looking to always improve.

I have danced all my life but I started taking dance lessons about a year ago. I would like to have a practice partner with whom I could improve and potentially compete.

My main goal is to find someone fun with whom to spend some time on the dance floor. I'm not looking to get married :) I am fun loving, full of life, and young thinking. I am playful, love to laugh and very much enjoy being a woman. I'm told I am very easy to talk to and am comfortable around people of all ages. I'm open to try any type of dancing.

I started taking social dance lessons a few years ago so I could stop sitting on the sidelines at weddings. To my great surprise, dancing has become one of my favorite things. I practice salsa, swing, & hustle both in private lessons and in a weekly group class. I also mess around with a little bit of funk, blues, and tango. Lately I've been dancing a lot of salsa rueda and would be interested in finding someone who wants to practice rueda moves.

I'm not an amazing dancer, but I love music, I practice a fair bit, and I get a little better every time. I always have fun, and I always do my best to make sure my partner enjoys herself.
