My desire is to dance more frequently on a regular basis.
Currently, I participate in a ballroom dance class on a weekly basis and attend local ballroom dances one to three times a month. Ballroom dancing and music from the 1940's big band era is my favorite. However, I am open to other types of music and dancing.
I am proficient with basic steps for fox trot, waltz, tango, and cha cha. I am seriously interested in Balboa, Argentine Tango and West Coast Swing lessons. Currently, I take a country line-dance class weekly.

Just want to meet women interested in a great dance amateur partnership I have a passion for dancing! My short term goal would be to dance and be competitive in Blackpool within 2 years! I was top gold male winner in USDC in 2006 in Orlando Fla, and top gold male winner in ten dance in Ohio Star Ball in November 2008. I performed a Paso Doble Showcase in Ischia Italy 2009 in competition.
I do Pro Am International Standard Ballroom and Latin competitions with Professional Denise Rivera and I am trained by Professional husband Martin Rivera and compete in 4 major Competitions per year. Martin and Denise Rivera trained in London with the great coaches and choreographers for four years, and won the United Kingdom Showdance title twice.
I competed the Millennium 2005 and the Florida Superstars 2005 with special recognition. In 2006 I competed the Heritage Classic at Grove Park, the Millennium 2006 in St Pete, the Volunteer State Dance in Nashville, the Florida State Dance in Sarasota 2006 with Triple Crown Award, the USDC 2006 in Hollywood Fla and the Ohio Star Ball 2006. I competed and won Top Gold Male at Ohio Star 2006. I competed and won Top Gold Male at USDC in 2008. I have trained with Joan and John Knight, Shirley Ballas and Ricardo Cocchi, Donnie Burns MBE, Markus and Karen Hilton MBE, Espen Salberg, Alan Tornsberg, Vibeke Toft, David Sycamore, Denise Weavers, Sammy Stopford, Barbara McColl, and others. I am very serious about dancing and plan becoming properly certified and teach eventually as a professional.
I have competed in the Pro Am United Country Western Dance Council events 2000 through 2005 and won the Pro Am Newcomer World Championship, then Pro Am Silver Intermediate and Open Intermediate in the World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, on New Years 2005.
I focus entirely on international 10 dance ballroom and latin at this time and forward.
Learning ballroom dancing is a universal language and has given me a good way to understand and communicate with others. Dance has been a form of therapy and a valuable investment in my physical health and mental balance and inner spirit! Creating body motion and feeling "at will with skill" predictably is my competitive desire.
