Proficiency level of my dance partner doesn't matter, beginners are welcome. I tried changing the selection to "I don't care" but can't get the choice to make it into my profile. Dance skills 5, computer skills 0!

Hello, thanks for stopping by... I have been involved with dance on and off since childhood with ethnic dancing, ballroom in college, disco era and intermittent for the last 10 years. This information didn't fit into the initial profile form. I started taking individual lessons in the last few weeks and I'm having fun dancing again and meeting dancers in the area. Although I'm primarily interested in social dancing, I could be open to performing as I have in the past.

I have several advanced psychology degrees and feel humble and grateful for my career with helping others help themselves. I respect the diversity of people, am neither far left or right, served in the military and value volunteerism. Don't do alcohol/drugs and eat healthy but also like popcorn & nearly anything with sugar!

My background is in classical ballet, which I danced for 18 years. I performed with NJ Ballet company and a pre-professional academy for a few years. This last year I started ballroom dancing private lessons and fell in love with it! I hope to continue learning all the various styles of ballroom until I find my favorite. So far I am enjoying American Rhythm, and started some Smooth. My goal is to compete/perform, and have fun along the way!

Experienced ballroom and Latin dancer. Attending improvers class. Also attend tea dances run by ballroom blitz at Heswall Hall Liverpool Town hall Crosby and west Kirby Blackpool tower ballroom a few times a year. Will dance anywhere!

Really keen to learn, came to ballroom late which is a big regret now I have discovered it. Should have listened to my mother!. Have ISTD Gold in Quickstep, Waltz, Foxtrot and Tango. Did not intend to do medals but just love the steps you do not see in social settings. Enjoy sequence and would like to do more, it is all about finding that elusive partner! Like ceroc too.

Have quite a lot of freedom and would love to dance several times a week.

Amo ballare e , a parte i latini, soprattutto la kizomba più di tutto, specialmente la urban e la fusion, ma sto imparando il LINDY HOP - SWING!

I started dancing at age 7, with tap, jazz and ballet. Picked up east coast swing and Lindy in high school, then the bathroom basics in college. I enjoyed Latin dancing socially. Later, I fell in love with blues and recently fusion.

Professional hard worker who has just found West Coast Swing. Country Western is also fun. Favorite music is blues, CW and southern rock like ZZ tops and Doobie Brothers.

I am a free-spirit, and teach this concept by working as a holistic consultant. I am creative and dance for me is an expression of joy, trust and cooperation. I dance twice a week here on Vancouver Island - in Nanaimo, Courtenay and Parksville. People say they love watching me because I sometimes create dancing on the street, and I conclude that I am sharing my inner joy with everyone who wants to watch or join in. I also hula hoop at the beach and in the forest.

My favourite dance is the Viennese Waltz, perhaps because I am from Europe and the dance is in my blood. I took lessons from a great Latin dance teacher in Kelowna, so I have become an above-average level Latin dancer, and could enter a competition, though I would prefer to perform as a way of showing how exhilarating dance can be.

To be perfectly honest, if I had a dance partner who was out of ego while dancing the standards, I would be in Heaven. I dance the Foxtrot and Quick Step just once every two weeks so I'd like to take improver lessons for these two, with someone who also enjoys the music and the flow. Argentine Tango is in vogue here so I take lessons. I haven't been able to dance country with a partner since I left Kelowna in 2012 - I miss it! If you are a country dancer, please contact me.

I can work anywhere in the world and have no dependents in any country. Dance has brought me great happiness so I would go somewhere open-minded where I could socialise and incorporate my hobby.

Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to talking to you and dancing.

I am looking for a dance partner to do social dances with, and maybe spend some time working out some routines together.

I used to dance frequently but my dancing has lapsed a little since my wife / partner died a few years ago.

Have danced a fair amount recently but looking for a regular dance partner to connect with and to be able to enjoy the dancing fully and to in its entirety.

SUMMARY:

GENERAL strategy I want to do right now (I've found that this strategy minimizes costs, while maximizing enjoyment):

1.) For the FOUNDATION aspect of dancing (the TECHNIQUE and STEPS categories below):

Rent studio time together, and use DanceVision DVDs (and Irish dancing DVDs, for me, too) for lots of fun PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

2.) For the APPLICATION aspect of dancing (the SPONTANEITY category below):

Keep going to live music and dance events where at some points I can't contain myself with the music, and I dance SPONTANEOUSLY, both solo and with a partner.

Where I'm at now with dancing, after dancing both partner and solo on and off for about 10 years:

My ENJOYMENT in dancing seems to depend on 3 categories: TECHNIQUE, STEPS, and SPONTANEITY.

For the categories of TECHNIQUE and STEPS, I've had plenty of formal instruction and have helped give formal instruction as an assistant teacher myself. I'm familiar with many standard forms for both TECHNIQUE and STEPS in about 10 or even more partner (Ballroom) dances over the years. I've never actually counted, as teaching studios and also a dance weekend I went to one time tend to cover a huge breadth of dances.

However, I've ended up recently focusing on the category of SPONTANEITY. To me, the category of SPONTANEITY seems to be a bit lacking in both teaching studio and social dance scenes. Therefore, I've been taking matters into my own hands, and being spontaneous myself. At Swing social events, I do spontaneous solo dancing along the sidelines, and then merge with a partner who would like to do the same thing as both partners and solo. It's a blast - we end up having so much fun!

When I'm doing this, a significant PARADIGM SHIFT that I'm doing is dancing to the general movement of the music, including the melody. I'm doing this, as opposed to doing an embedded drumbeat type of footwork to the music that the standard forms seem to usually take, and that can be constraining when my partner and I want to just let the music sweep us away. I've been experimenting with allowing the music to sweep us away, and we're able to enjoy a much more free moving Fred Astaire-like dance that's lots of fun!

To do this, I’m looking for: SPONTANEITY and AGILITY.

(Keep in mind that to be well-matched, my level of agility is kind of off the charts, so if you're NOT into AGILITY, we probably wouldn't be well-matched in the long-run. There - I've given my disclaimer - HA HA!)

I consider myself an Intermediate level dancer. I enjoy practicing to improve my leader and partner skills. I've been told I am a very good leader, (you be the judge, lol). I like foxtrot, waltz, cha-cha, hustle, rumba, bolaro, quickstep, tango, salsa, Viennese waltz, and West Coast swing, but open to all types of dance. I'd like to practice twice a week for about 2 hours. I am retired and my schedule has flexibility.

I have always been interested in ballroom and latin dancing. I tried some lessons on and off over 40 years but never got going. Now I am keen to stop procrastinating and learn and practise to a level where I can start to compete.

Been partnerless for a little bit now. First, due to life stuff, and now due to COVID stuff.

Started up weekly lessons in again recently. Hopefully as the world settles down, I can do more lessons and classes and practices and socials and all that fun stuff!

Been doing mostly Smooth for the past 5 years, with a few years experience in Standard, Latin, Rhythm and social dances.

I enjoy ballroom, country western, salsa, and line dancing and have an extreme interest in learning Argentine Tango. I am a married woman with a husband who has no interest in dancing. It would be extremely helpful to find someone in a similar situation, as I’m not using this site as a dating app. I have an extreme love for dance and am anxious to find a like-minded soul. I am also an introvert and would like to find someone who can stick by my side at social events rather than make the rounds to dance with all the other women unless they ensure I am in a comfortable spot to avoid social awkwardness as I am not a social butterfly. 😊 I just want to dance and dance often. Dance is my chosen form of exercise, and I seek someone who loves music, loves to dance.

I’m looking for a partner to train, perform, and compete with. I practice 6 days a week. I spend half my week teaching at dance studio in Redwood City, half the week teaching in San Francisco. Looking for someone around my age with any level of experience.

I've been square dancing for about 34 years and enjoy going to weekend conventions a few times each year. I dance at the Plus level, sometimes APD when available, with lots of energy and lots of spins and twirls, if my partner enjoys that. Would like to take an Advanced 1 and 2 level class.

I love east coast swing, and was taking lessons for ballroom and west coast until my teacher got injured. I'd love to get better for social dancing, to be able to dance anywhere, to anything (almost). Not really wanting to go into competition, but just get better to be able to dance more and feel comfortable in any situation.

I enjoy social dancing, and would like to improve my technique. I’ve danced in Spain, Norway and Boston.

I am looking for a partner for social dance, and I would like to improve my dance skills. I've been dancing for more than five years, and I think that I am at the immediate level in Waltz, Rumba, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Swing, and ChaCha. I am in good physical condition.

Began ballroom dance lessons two years ago. Did not realize how much I was going to love it!
