I have passed my usfs senior MIF and freeskate, as well as the novice free dance test. I have only the quickstep left to test. I was trained in ice dance by Jim Millns in Tampa until his retirement, and in freestyle by Ilene Grieshaber in Rockledge, Fl. I am now under the tutelage of Pauline Gasparini for both.

I work in the ice show at Busch Gardens. They are always searching for male skaters...

I have extensive ballroom training. This has helped give me a unique and expressive look. I have also had training in ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hop, tap, musical theater, points, pas de deux, tumbling, and gymnastics.

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 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'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.

Intermediate level in Salsa...

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.

Experienced, (26-years), dancer with 8-years 9 Dance Competition experience in Open/Pre-Championship and Championship levels within the USABDA / USA Dance regional and national competitions. International Standard competition at a bronze level.

Training routine during competitive phase: 2-hours lessons/coaching per week with 5-days of 2-hour practice/rehearsals per week during competitive seasons.

Currently, training consists of general and dance fundamental exercises with occasional review of recorded dance lessons or YouTube instructional videos. One to two times per week social dancing at USA Dance and local studio sponsored events with some Intermittent practice within local dance community.

Exclusively social dancing now and attending ballroom or other dancing genre events: WCS, Hustle, Polka and Latin/Salsa. Open to assisting preparation for competitions.

I started ballroom dancing in October 2020 and I love it; I am currently focused on Salsa, Bachata, Hustle, East Coast Swing, Rumba & Cha Cha.

I've been dancing for 10 years, ballroom and Argentine tango, private lessons and group classes. I've recently returned from a sojourn in Buenos Aires (Congreso Internacional de Tango) and Patagonia. When I'm not dancing, I enjoy sailing, horses, golf, travel, reading, music, hiking, plays, & conversation. I'm fit, attractive, presentable. Shall we dance?

17 years experience in Latin/Ballroom. Looking for partner to dance socially.

I have been dancing ever since I was a child and growing up in the 1960's on was most reflective of Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5, Soul Train, Rock 'n Roll, Modern Jazz and what they called "Go-Go". My parents danced the Jitter Bug, Fox trots and Waltzes. My brother(s) and I are musicians, oldest brother on guitar and other older brother closer to my age on percussion, and myself clarinet, now harmonica mostly (in all genres), some piano and percussion as well as alto sax; my sister danced. We all danced. In my high school years, in the late '70's I began dancing in the street on rollerskate, 4 wheel and later blades. Today I rollerskate street dance to music that moves and inspires me most to blend old and new styles. It would be so much fun to start up a little troupe of street dancers and entertain the public. I most always get such wonderful, positive responses and reactions from people, and often even stop me to talk and thank me. I have some new ideas on dancing and exercise, as well as how to promote The Arts and all the wonderful benefits associated with creativity in our world today. I'm so happy to disover this site and hope to find likeminded lovers of dance to join me in this fine expression!: )

I relocated to St Simons Island, GA and opened a studio, and now I work primarily out of Florida & Atlanta, GA and travel as often with work with cruise ships, workshops and film. My experience is in various styles such as hip hop, theater arts, etc. Also I primarily dance American Rhythm & Smooth; however I like International Latin. In addition I havie a gymnastics background, and I’m athletic and motivated.

I am learning Cha Cha, Rumba, Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, West Cost Swing, East Cost Swing, Swing, Salsa and some others in Dance training classes in Fairfax.

I was trained about 8-12 hours in the class for each of above.
