I felt like I fell in love for the first time when I found partner dancing in 2019. I grew up playing sports and have always loved movement of all types. I had even dabbled in different types of dance in my 20’s – 40’s (lyrical, ballet, modern, contra, zumba), but nothing really stuck until I found social dancing at a local ballroom studio. I had taken beginner ballroom classes before, but having a place to put what I learned into practice every week made all the difference. Plus, I finally found an instructor who really taught me how to follow. I threw myself into ballroom dancing that first year, and also experimented with salsa and Lindy Hop. But then Covid hit, and soon after, a concussion from a bicycle fall… the latter kept me from dancing for 2.5 years. I just returned in the fall of 2022.

So, technically I’ve only been dancing for a total of 1.5 years. My dance teacher says I'm advanced bronze but sometimes I dance with Silver-level leads in Foxtrot and Waltz. I lack a lot in terms of training in anything but the basic footwork and patterns in most of the dances done in ballrooms. Nonetheless, my current dance partners say I’m a solid follow. I suspect that is because I’ve been so kinesthetically oriented my whole life -- I am fit and strong and at home in my body. The combination of my fast reflexes and proprioceptive sensitivity means I can usually respond well to patterns I haven’t experienced before if they are led well. I also played music growing up, so I think I have a better than average sense of rhythm. Lastly, I am comfortable with myself, so I am not afraid to make mistakes as I learn and welcome feedback from partners. Plus, I LOVE it and am committed to practicing, so I tend to learn fast. All that means that although I’m still a newbie to partner dancing, I think I’ve got the raw material to be a great dance partner.

I LOVE partner dancing, like no other activity ever in my life. I love that dancing gives me a place to express myself in different ways, to expand who I am even. Meanwhile, I am also grateful that it gives me a sense of community and an opportunity for play in my life. But I also want it to fill the hole left by athletics and playing music – a place where I strive for excellence. I want dance to be that place, but without the risk of losing the fun and joy of it. And not just because I want to be better at it, but because I find the process of growing in something – anything, really – satisfying in itself.

4 years social dancing

I'm a competitive female leader looking for a competitive follow. Same-sex dance associations have different grading levels. I'm level A.

I am open to learning new techniques and advancing in dancing and tango.

I used to dance ballroom dancing professionally for 15 years both Latin and Standard.

My passion is dancing, all styles. Tap dancing, jazz, ballet (I teach those styles) and love to dance, latin, ballroom, jive etc. Danced competitively for 15 months 2004/2005. Competed in 8 Championships in Latin and won them all including the Australian Dancesport Latin Championship in 2004. Would definitely consider re-entering the competition scene. Performed with Todd McKenney (Dancing with the Stars Judge) in November 2005 in his show "Todd McKenney Live" at the Palms at Crown Casino in Melbourne (Tap Dancing).

Just moved to Southern California from Seattle. Hard-working, determined, and willing to commit to a consistent practice and competition schedule. I’m 5 foot 4 and 5 foot 7 inches in heels. Just entering the professional ranks after dancing as an amateur for several years.

I have taken private lessons in American Smooth and West Coast Swing for about five years and a great many ballroom and swing group classes. I've also taken lots of dance workshops and go to West Coast Swing conventions a couple of times a year. I'm a serious student both of ballroom and West Coast Swing and am very eager to find a skillful and reliable practice partner to work on either or both dances with. In the case of West Coast Swing, I have a great many WCS DVDs that I'd like to have someone to study and practice with me. If you'd also like to attend some classes and lessons with me, that would be great but at a minimum I'd like someone to practice once a week with. My main goal is excellent social dancing but I have performed a couple of times. I'm not really very interested in competing but if that is your thing I would do my best to support you in developing those skills and possibly would be willing to compete with you if the process didn't take more time than I have to devote to dance. It is my hobby and I also have lots of other responsibilities that I have to fulfill and have a very demanding professional position so I don't get off work until 6 or 7 p.m.

Lindy hop is by far my favorite dance. I've been dancing since 1998 with a long break to get married, have kids, then divorced. I got back to dancing Lindy in 2017. I don't lead lots of fancy patterns, my instructors were more into the quality of movement and partnership to allow for the "follow" to improvise. So it is more about musicality and spontaneous collaboration.

I spent a couple of years in the early 2000's trying Argentine Tango. It is my second favorite but not nearly as fun as Lindy. I learned several other American ballroom dances, but these are all rusty.

I am an absolute passionate about dance. I want the dance to be big part of my life. I am a free spirit that travel all the time. I have lots of energy, enjoy life with whatever comes to my way. I am a spontanous and enthusiastic person. Enjoy kayak, yoga, running, skiing as well.

I am a retired computer systems engineer who returned to school after I retired. After working through a second round of Bachelor's courses, I received my Master's Degree in 2002. I am just finishing my dissertation and expect to receive my PhD shortly. I started Ballroom Dancing about two years ago and I love it!

Currently taking lessons at Arthur Murray. Been there a few months, no prior ballroom dance experience but I’ve done cheer in HS and played piano for 10 years so I very much understand musicality. Goals will eventually be competition I imagine, but I’m a few months in so would like to learn more and get more social exposure to dance

Love to branch out in dancing and try new dances, constantly expanding. A well groom gentleman with manners and single.

Hi looking for dance partner and friend

hope to here from you

My name is Michael

A dancer that enjoys sewing (vests) and DIY

I am a married lady with a husband who has no interest in dancing whatsoever. I joined a beginners class in 1992 and found myself a dancing partner. Although we never took any exams, we reached Gold Bar 2 level of the IDTA examination board. Unfortunately, my dancing partner has since died and although I have danced with others since, I have never found anyone to fill his dancing shoes! In recent years I have not danced at all because of ill health. With all that behind me now, I'm looking for someone to share my love of the foxtrot with!

As the owner of a "social" ballroom dance studio, I am always looking to improve my dancing and learn new things for my students as well as myself. In the last year, I have started dancing Salsa, Bachata, and West Coast Swing. My studio allows me a nice space to practice. Now I just need the right partner(s).

I am only a beginner, looking to be a good dance partner.

I am a gentleman who began dancing (ballet) at twelve and started learning ballroom at 14. I danced up until I got married but she wasn't into dancing so I got away from it. I have been back on the dance floor socially for over 8 years and I have competed in national competitions.

Hello I'm Brandon, been dancing for a few years now. I dance salsa bachata, kizomba, semba, and cha cha. I am just trying to get better at being a social dancer. I travel to congresses at least 5 times a year. I just enjoy how music and dance makes me feel.

Lively and cheerful personality, positive and active

The dance is a passion for me and another way to express and communicate...

Did a lot of latin dancing, took 2 or 3 sessions of tango; but i never get to practice.

I've just started lessons in Argentine Tango and I need a partner to practise with. I am a funny, pretty, kindly woman who will be tolerant of beginners' nerves!

I was born in Florida, Raised in Texas, studied dance in Hurst, Texas, am proficient in Country, Ballroom, and Latin. I've had 10 years of dance experience, and I really enjoy it.

Hello there. I have been dancing on and off in Country Western and Latin styles for 4 years at various dance studios, a few bars that host classes and a university student club. While, it has been a very enjoyable, interesting and fun process to learn how to dance and I've mastered the basics and many intermediate moves in several style, I learn to go from being a 'decent' dancer to a 'good' dancer.
