Background: I have always been interested in dancing, but now I am finally perusing it by taking latin dance classes. I am now fully committed to mastering various latin dances.

Interests: merengue, chachacha, bachata, cumbia, salsa etc.

Goals: Obtain mastery in merengue, bachata, salsa, etc.

Why I am looking for a dance partner: It's more fun if I can attend classes with someone I know then to practice with new people every time (now that I mind that, but having a consistent dance partner will allow me to grow more efficiently). Other reasons, we get to have an accountability partner, enhancing our effort.

I'm interested in Ballroom dancing. I didn't have much experience but compensate with enthusiasm and skills. I discovered dance sport by chance and I must say it's addictive. So, shall we dance?:)

I just started up learning again, salsa and Bachata for congresses and social events, i’m a little awkward but I’m learning hard and trying hard so hopefully things work out. I have plenty of evening time to take classes and to practice with a partner if I find one. Currently in the Seattle area originally from Honolulu Hawaii.

Most of my dance training has been in Zumba classes. While I have not spent too much time dancing with a partner, I can do a lot with a good lead. I would like to dance for fun, and possibly more.

Retired mechanical design engineer. Hobbies cycling and ballroom dancing. Reasonably sociable fellow who likes nothing better than a chat with someone who is congenial. Not usually extrovert but I have my moments. Would like to do more dancing but without a regular partner it is frustrating. I have weekly one-to-one lessons.

I have started balroom dancing when I was 6 years old and have finished before 17. After long brake I would like to come back to dancing so Im looking for a partner. I use to be a very good dancer with experience in around 50 competitions in Poland, Germany or Canada.

I have danced competitively for three years with the MIT Ballroom Dance Team and have competed last in Standard pre-champ and Latin Gold. In addition, I occasionally have done pick-up Smooth on the Silver. Due to job related relocations, I was not able to dance for years, but am now back on the floor. I enjoy practicing, competing, and improving. Next to focusing on technique, I like to work on the character of each dance.

I love to dance, dancers nh whole my last life

I love to dance! MOre then I can write, I can show in practice or video from the competitions.

I started dance lessons in 1970 and completed IDTA up to 3 gold bar in latin and ballroom, took a 15year break to have family and career returned to complete up to 6 gold bar in latin and ballroom and trained both daughters, danced with them to 4 gold bar and still train to a high standard each week now. I also do a bit of teaching which I really enjoy but would like to do more social dancing and with a regular partner especially as I have now retired from fulltime work.

I recently discovered West Coast Swing. I haven’t been this inspired about dancing in a very long time. I took ballet, contemporary and jazz as a teenager but that went by the wayside long ago. I am very interested in finding a partner who wants to go out dancing with me.

I have a passion or dancing and music. I work during the day at a medical spa and at night I teach dancing or socializing with my friends. People consider me as a loving, honest person who always care for others. I am a down to earth nature girl that can enjoy god's creations and the next dress up for a night out on town. Quiet moments are just important to me as socializing with ones you care for. No matter what you do in life, just do the best you can, that is my believes.

. I'm seeking "tallish" women (around 5'5 to 5'9) who enjoy swing dancing or walking, and don't live too far from Williamsport (gas prices).

* When I'm dancing, I like looking across at my dance partner, not down; and it's easier to get underneath the arm of a taller woman when making a dance turn.

* My Significant Other of 20 years passed away unexpectedly in March 2022.

2. MY OWN "BAGGAGE":

* I have really bad hearing, even with the best hearing aids. I can usually hear relatively well on the phone, but in a location like a restaurant with people talking all around or on a dance floor, I usually have problems hearing. (I'm looking into getting a cochlear implant, but currently I don't quite qualify under Medicare rules.)

* I'm NOT a well-rounded person. My talents that are of interest to women are probably limited to swing & ballroom & line dancing, walking & hiking, and possibly visiting restaurants.

* The activities that I spend my most of my time on -- model train automatic controls, building amateur web pages, and making amateur videos -- are activities that most women find boring.

* Personality: I'm a retired mechanical engineer. Applicable joke: "Question: What do engineers use for birth control?" Answer: "Their personalities".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. OTHER INFO:

* LOCATIONS: I was born in Williamsport PA, although I have also lived in Kentucky, Maryland, Colorado, California, and Arizona (in that order). I have BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State University Park.

* DOG: I'm an incompetent dog owner. I now have one 67-pound female staffordshire/bulldog/corgi mixed-breed dog (named Sassy) that I "inherited" from my Significant Other when she passed away. Unfortunately, the poor dog is BORED to death, having to live with me.

* MUSIC: I like Country Rock -- anything with a strong beat, that's good for Swing or Cha-Cha dancing.

I discovered dancing ( modern jive) quite a few years ago and it has opened up a whole new social world for me, I have found to my surprise that I can actually string a few moves together and enjoy it very much . I'm not satisfied with the level that I am at and would like to meet a possible dance partner that perhaps i can gel with and hopefully improve my dancing. I enjoyed learning basic Argentine tango, but also loved west coast swing , I was struggling to do both so concentrated on west coast swing and although I enjoyed the music and dance style very much. My main interest is Argentine Tango, I have been attending classes and workshops for over 3 years, which is just long enough to discover how beautiful this dance form can be, I so want to improve my Tango skills and I'm prepared to put the work in to achieve that aim . I would so like to meet a follower with similar aspirations,to practice and go to events and workshops with and continue our journey together. My aim is to visit Buenos Aires for several weeks as a reasonably competent dancer that followers would be willing to dance with, and hopefully learn so much more.

Happy dancing!!

I'm learning both salsa and bachata. I want to increase my skill rapidly... and that requires practice.

I have a degree in music. I actually used to teach piano for a living, so I understand how people learn new skills. I can have fun while taking something seriously.

My goals are to become very good for social dancing.

I began dancing as a teenager and have been dancing over 40 years. I consider myself a serious dancer and an excellent follower. I am always willing to learn more about ballroom dancing and especially Argentine Tango dancing. My favorite dances are American and Argentine tango, bolero, and samba. I have experience in American Smooth, American Rhythm, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Hustle, Salsa. Most of my experience has been at the Bronze and Silver levels simply because of a lack of partners who are experienced at higher levels. My goal is to become more proficient at the higher levels. I am also interested in competing which I have not done before.

Intermediate level in Salsa...

I enjoyed all partner dances. I've competed American Smooth, Country Western, Hustle, and WCS in Pro-Am division Novice level; Jack & Jill contests for WCS, Salsa, and Hustle.

I would like to compete AM Smooth/Rhythm in AM-AM division (Bronze), also WCS strictly (Nov/Masters)if I can find a compatible partner.

For dancers are from out of town, I'd love to show you what are the nice places to dance in Orlando since I was helped while I was traveling to dance.

See you on the dance floor!

I need to dance ❤️❤️💃🕺❤️❤️

Years ago, used to dance several dance styles. More advanced in ballroom and country and a beginner in swing. I have not dance in many years due to a knee injury but am now ready to get back on the dance floor and slowly build back to a silver level.

I am married, but my husband does not care to dance. I really miss it. Dancing is good exercise and stress relief for me. I am friendly and caring and work with elderly people in therapeutic recreation. I am willing to learn new steps. I think it is fun to dress up when I go dancing.

I took private and group lessons briefly and now I am taking private lessons in Swing and Ballroom dance

I have been dancing both salsa and latin for about 3 years but only started competitive latin a year ago. I hope to start competing in Novice Category soon.

I recently moved from Austin, and am looking to start ballroom dancing again. I have been out of practice, not dancing since January of this year. I had several years of lessons, but have taken a break from it in recent years. I am looking to have fun dancing, and learning new dance steps and dances along the way.
