More About Me
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I have extensive experience and a diverse background in dance. I have trained in Latin-style dances with Mambo World champions Jose DeCamps and Viktoriya Drubetskaya. I have attended dance camp and have taken styling lessons from renowned dancer Jaana Kunitz. I have taken private introductory lessons in all ten international-style dances from instructors at national champion Eugene Katsevman’s studio in Brooklyn, New York. I work well in a creative and educational environment. I understand how to effectively communicate with students and colleagues. I have taught and performed in restaurants, health clubs, an assisted living facility, events, as well as privately at home. I am passionate about the artistry of dance and helping my students grow their skills. I believe I would be an asset to your community center.

I'm Looking For
I am a female ballroom, club-style Latin, and Argentine tango dancer seeking a fabulous male partner (no experience necessary- I am willing to train and continue my own learning with). Preferably a partner with a sharp sense of fashion and a flamboyant style. I would like to eventually be in performances and co-teach classes (I have some previous experience in both). I am also looking to develop a new dance style by merging different types of dances. I have my own dance space in my home. My boyfriend is a piano and guitar player who can provide live music for some of our practice sessions. He has is bachelor's degree in music. We will be working on our craft in a creative, flexible, and relaxed environment.
