More About Me
I learned ballroom dancing (waltz, cha cha, swing, foxtrot) beginning when I was 12 years old. Unfortunately, rock and roll free style dancing became the popular dance. So I went decades without using my ballroom knowledge (much of it has now faded.
Tried to renew my dancing in 2005 with lessons in east and west coast, but my girlfriend/partner at the time only wanted to do freestyle, so I slipped away again. Rid of her in 2010, I started taking salsa and west coast lessons.
I started Argentine tango lessons in 2012, and I'm hooked....it's my favorite. I still like swing and cha cha very much, but tango is what I'm addicted to. I love the musicality, the connection, the necessary ability to think 2-3 moves ahead in choreographing the dance. I try to dance 3-4 times per week.
I'm also willing to do salsa, waltz and nite club 2 step, but not very well until I take more lessons.
Women tell me I am a strong lead in Argentine Tango, Cha Cha and Swing.
I feel learning is best through two avenues, having a dance partner to practice with, yet dancing with many different people to learn the good and to avoid the bad traits. It is most fun with a good partner, who also has great connection with you.
I'm Looking For
I prefer a partner between the height of 5'2" and 5'9" due to my height of 6'0" and no more than a little over weight, so we are able to do all types of embrace when dancing Argentine tango.
Argentine tango requires close embrace at least half the time, so you must be free of hang ups about closeness. As one woman tango instructor in Seattle says, "Some people don't have tango in them and never will."
I'm not clingy, as I have been told (by women) that some men are. Even when married (now divorced) I was not jealous of other men dancing with my partner or wife.
I am told by women that I am a gentleman, am very understanding, and take constructive criticism better than most men. I won't tell you how to dance, unless you ask me for suggestions. As long as you can keep your balance, and stay on your axis while dancing tango, I will dance with you. This should be a fun adventure, with no drama or unwanted stress.
