More About Me
Originally, I learned single time swing in high school 25 years ago, salsa during College 20 years ago, and did some ballroom in the mid 2000s. Recently got back into it in 2023. In a typical week I'll have 2-3 hours of group lessons, with one or two social dances for about 1.5 hours each. Would love to practice once a week for a couple hours to go over all the dances and various moves, though I can be flexible on that. My goal is to have fun, make sure my follows have fun, and be competent on the dance floor.
While I am up for learning routines for performances, at the moment do not have the time or interest in competing.
I learn from a Fred Astaire Instructor in American Smooth & American Rhythm. I'm open to doing some international lessons, but primarily dance and practice American Smooth & Rhythm. Below is a quick description of my knowledge in each dance style:
Ballroom Swing / Single Time Swing / Single Time Jive: several steps
Bolero: most steps
Cha-Cha: all Bronze steps
Country Two Step: the first few steps
Disco Waltz: most bronze steps and a silver step
Foxtrot: Know the first 4-5 bronze steps
Latin Hustle: all bronze steps and some silver steps
Night Club Two step: Basic step, maybe a couple more
Rumba: all bronze steps
Samba: first few bronze steps
Tango: all bronze steps, some knowledge of silver steps
Viennese waltz: reverse turns, natural turns, and change/bridge steps.
Waltz: all bronze steps, beginning to learn silver
West Coast Swing: Knowledge of a few basic steps.
I'm Looking For
Ideally, I'm looking for a partner who enjoys dancing and wants to improve both technique and learn new moves. Someone who can join me in the group lessons (not that we have to do the lessons with each other the whole time), and is up for practicing once a week for a couple hours, and up for going to 1 social dance per week. Some experience preferred, but am willing to work with a determined beginner who is eager to learn.
Social preferences: Mainly looking for a compatible fit, that we both find it easy being around the other person and both enjoy dancing with each other.
Location preferences: I live in Lake Country, however I drive into Kelowna for dancing. Not interested in driving farther out.
COVID Vaccination: Non-issue.
