I have been a professional American Smooth competitor for the past 8 years. I took some time off of dancing for myself and now I am looking to get back into it. During my professional career, I made finals for many of the nationwide competitions and won many of regional competitions.

I enjoy learning new types of dance. I am easy going and am good at taking good chritisim as to what I am doing wrong. When showed something new I like to repeat it several times until I get it right and feel comfortable with the move. I am a fairly fast learner, I have been told. Started really getting into swing dancing about a year and a half ago,in Phoenix, AZ., but in the last 6 months have kind of gotten away from it. Just moved to the Houston area so am hopeing to find places to go, learn new technics and have fun, with it all.

I’m a newbie to country swing.

Pre-Champ/Champ Standard dancer graduating law school and transitioning into a focus on career. Looking to find practice partner/partners to maintain current proficiency level with. Would like to take lessons, but may have unpredictable work schedule. Looking to practice 3-6 hours a week, depending on work conditions.

Danced competitively in UK Senior 1 and Senior 2 ballroom for about 5yr. Made the finals at Bournemouth UK Sen 1 and Sen 2 in 2016 (thereabouts), on the same night, which was very taxing but a terrific result.

Have enjoyed it but unfortunately we stopped because of squabbling over the dancing. I think it's been a 5yr lapse.

Wish to get back to it. Wish also to achieve that level where presenting happiness of dancing is foremost (managed to do that but only once or twice).

Am more inclined towards Ballroom but will also try Latin if it works well.

Fred Astair student for 2 years, intermediate bronze, Tango, Waltz, Batacha, West Coast Swing, cha cha, Rumba, looking for good leader for practice

I've been ballroom dancing for a total of 7 years - my favorite dances are waltz, foxtrot, nightclub two step, and hustle. I dance the latin dances, but I'm not that good at them. I started dancing the Argentinian Tango two years ago. What a wonderful dance - I've been bitten by the Argentine Tango bug! But it's difficult finding a suitable partner.

The Waltz is my favorite dance. I have the most experience with East Coast Swing.

I am professional dance instructor for many years. I was competing on major World and US competitions as professional, run my own studio in a past, currently competing Pro-Am.

I love to Dance. I took lessons many years ago but stopped when my husband became unwell.

I took more lessons a couple of years ago and undertook private lessons last year. i now dance as much as i can. I go to social dances and have many partners, hardly sit down, but not a regular dance partner. Have very definately caught the bug again!! [Never really lost it just circumstances intervened].am now taking private lessons and continue to improve.

Being a 60's girl I love jive and cha cha as well as ballroom. Have been learning Argentine Tango for over 2years and absolutely love it. Would love to find a partner for Argentine as well as for ballroom and Latin .

I love all dance, Am steadily becoming more proficient. Think I have a good sense of musicality, rhythm etc. Have been told I am a natural dancer and follow well.

I am young at heart, slim, fit, and as I'm now retired, have time to practise and go to tea dances or evening dances. I have a good sense of humour enjoy the theatre, ballet eating out, playing scrabble, travelling and seeing new places, and the sun.

Thank you everyone who has contacted me. I am not currently a paying member so won't be able to respond even tho I may want to, unless of course you are a gold member!

Just wanted to update this profile - I haven't been on the site in quite some time (since last year actually) and haven't actually been doing any dancing either, so apologies to anyone who has sent me a "hello" message and not gotten a response.

I've been dancing since late 2014 and fell in love with it straight away. I'm very keen and have dance about a minimum of 5 hours a week ever since. I have competed in Classical/Modern/Ballroom Medallist of the Year competitions.

I currently see Mark and Olga Eldsbury for lessons between 7-10 a month and practice 2-3 times a week.

I enjoy all aspects of dancing from Social dancing/Holidays and all different types of competitions.

I began dancing ballroom competition at 6 years old and did it almost 10 years.At the same time I learnt ballet as well. After 9 years of ballet school I worked 10 years as a professional ballerina at the theatre Vanemuine. During several summers I learnt Ar.tango,salsa and other latin dances in Spain and became a dance teacher.( I've also done belly-dance and flamenco.)

I'm pretty laid back, with a sense of humor and adventure.

Recently discovered Lindy Hop and love it. Also open to learning other types of dances.

Open to any questions...

I dance to traditional country/western music (70’s, 80’s and 90’s)—not today’s contemporary C/W dancing. Of course, I enjoy good ‘ole rock ‘n roll music and dancing as well. Plus, you can throw-in big band, swing, easy-listening and some disco. Enjoy dancing whether it's "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound", "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" or "In the Mood"!

I don’t know anything about categorizing music or dance steps; I just know whether I “like” it or not. Similarly, I know nothing about the website’s proficiency rating system. I selected a rating of “8” before I realized that the rating system is probably based on a standard ballroom scale.

I neither ballroom dance nor care to learn; I’m quite content with my proficiency as a C/W dancer; but, I would like to try to Shag since many of my C/W steps are similar.

I have never had dance lessons unless you want to count my secretary’s instructions. In fact, I never would have gotten in to dancing if my secretary had not insisted that our Department have happy hour at the new, fancy upscale C/W bar down the street from our bank, back in John Travolta’s days of “Urban Cowboy”.

Just leaning to ballroom dance I would love a dance partner

My background is mainly salsa dancing (over 8 years with around 1 year's experience of teaching beginner's salsa classes) but I'm looking to train in latin/ballroom dancing with a view to perform/compete.

I have done some basic latin/ballroom training (including a few private dance lessons) but I believe that my salsa background means that I will be able to pick up the dances quickly.

As an adult, I have also taken classes in lindyhop, modern jive, contemporary, jazz, street dance, tap, argentine tango and musical theatre.

I'm currently taking private lessons that encompass ballroom, argintine tango and swing and country dances. I'm very dedicated and love to dance. Looking for a male partner with strong dance ethics and commitment to the dance. Dancing is oxygen to my soul.

I have only been dancing occasionally since the pandemic, but I really would love to dance on a regular basis. I had been dancing for several years prior to the epidemic - primarily ballroom, Argentine tango and salsa, but so much since then. Now I have new knees and I’m ready to go. I moved to The Villages in the Spring of 2022, and I am looking for a dance partner. I just can’t get that dancing bug out of my system.

I don't drink or smoke.

You may be a better dancer than me, but my sense of humor should help that situation.

Buyer beware: I’m a lot older than I used to be and my dancing is a little rusty!

I have a minor in classical dance, practiced classical dance, tap, ballet, and couple dancing.

I have been dancing for 7 months, I am told I pick up fast, was doing the advanced second lesson and have started taking technical classes, and have been previously told I am advanced. Looking for an experienced dance partner to dance lead for DanceSport Competitions. I have a passion for standard ballroom and wanting to do standard in competitions.

I took ballroom lessons for a few years.

I've been dancing for fun for many years.

Have danced socially for many years, but never had my own partner to work on any style. I completed my Bronze Medal in Latin & Ballroom some years ago and began my Silver a couple of years ago but the Foxtrot particularly was difficult to practice without a partner.
