More About Me
I currently live and work in Beckenham in South East London. I am a teacher and this is a demanding job. However, I take my dancing seriously and really want a committed partner with whom I can develop. Dancing is very important to me and a great source of joy. I love to work and practise hard, I enjoy technique and I love practising until things are right!
I have been dancing for many years but doing ballroom and latin seriously for about 3 years or so now. Since moving to SE London, I haven't really found my way, I'm looking for somewhere I really happy to dance and someone with whom I can continue to develop in the way that I was when I lived in North London. I would really like to get back to regular practise and partnership as soon as possible.
I love all 10 dances and would be very reluctant specialise. I do slightly prefer ballroom although I tend to be slightly better at latin, it's a little more natural for me and I'm quite flamboyant and extroverted.
I'm Looking For
I would like someone who is willing to do 2-3 practise sessions a week (proper practise in a studio or at a competitive practise session). Someone who is willing to take 1-2 private lessons a week. Somebody who is a good follow and interested in moving across the dance floor; a dynamic dancer. I want to develop my steps, rhythm, technique and style by doing private lessons, having private studio practise time and attending competitive practises. I take information in when doing lessons, but really need to then practise it as soon as possible. I am looking for someone who wants to share this and develop together. You should be someone who loves dancing and wants to dance whenever they can in principal, someone who is willing to work hard for comps and dress up properly for balls. You should definitely be willing to work hard and be a pleasure to dance with!
In reality, I am still a little over weight and I would like someone who is willing to invest time in practise and in the partnership. I have great technique and work hard. I want to compete at Senior 2 in 3 years time when I turn 45. I am willing to compete some intermediate and pre-champ before then. If we get on and our schedules are compatible then I will most certainly be in the correct physical state for winning competitions in 2 years with plenty of opportunity for entering comps before then. It is most definitely my intention to be of a normal competitive weight by the time I'm ready for Senior 2.
