More About Me
I'm not particularly looking for a relationship - just a partner to practice with. I'm really into dance and can practice 4 or 5 nights a week. I would practice more if I had a suitable partner.
However, if you can dance like Melissa Rutz, expect an immediate offer of marriage :-)
My preferred dance is West Coast Swing, my second choice of dance is Argentine Tango, but I realise that I'm going no where in any kind of dance without a compatible partner.
I'm very fit, with surprisingly good balance and rhythm for my age (I regularly practice hip and chest isolations and ballet exercises) I dance Swing with two different partners who are in their 20's, but who can't put in the kind of commitment I would like.
I enjoy ballroom immensely, but have enormous difficulty doing routines and feel I should have progressed much further in the short time I've been doing it. I've been told by a number of instructors that I'm an improvisational dancer who follows the music rather than the rules!!
This makes me an unpredictable and challenging lead - In Ceroc I through everything together, ocohes, (AT) spin turns, (Ballroom) whips (Swing) - I just love it when I find a partner who can 'just go with the flow'
Oh. . . and if you are on vacation in Scotland - I'll be happy to meet up with you for some dancing :-)
How serious about dance am I? I've been the only 50 something man in an adult ballet class. . . . . and yes, I'm comfortable working at the barre.
I have conversational Polish A2 - B1
I'm Looking For
Someone active slim and interested in any kind of dance. My personal preference is West Coast Swing and Lindy - but I've done Latin, Ceroc, Salsa, Ceildh, American Square Dance,Contra and would very much like to improve my Ballroom and Argentine tango skills.
If you are the kind of person that just can't stay off the dance floor - then we could be in business.
I'd particularly like to find someone who I could do some serious practice with on the weekends in Glasgow. (preferably West Coast Swing, but also Ballroom or Argentine Tango)
Age and looks are immaterial - I want a dance partner not a bedroom partner - a natural sense of timing and good balance are essential.
Now I've discovered dance I can't stay away from it - wish I had someone to share it with!
I'd also like to get into doing WCS competions.
I'm looking for a serious dance partner with a fair amount of experience (the form doesn't matter) I dance very badly when I am tense, and doing set steps and choerography makes me tense.
I'm VERY musically driven in my dance, I can hear the phrasing and the syncopations and try to follow them. Ballroom is difficult because of that - I want to do much more than just hit the beat.
I've got lousy posture, but can dance and lead from a moving frame (I can lead from the arms, Swing, Salsa, chest, Argentine Tango, or hips, Ballroom). A lot of times I forget what kind of lead I should be doing, but I just lead anyway - it depends what kind of dance experience you've had how you will interpret me.
