I started private lessons, 5 hours a week, a year ago. I would like a partner to go to social dances with me. I have noticed that the partners tend to do a lot of routines that are not taught in classes, only because they have danced together for a while.

Lifelong dancer who excels with a partner I get familiar with, socially I am usually the best male dancer everywhere I go. Not that most guys can actually lead and spin a woman... So not exactly bragging here.

My name is Britt. I graduated from Middlebury College in 2012. I majored in political science, minored in Italian and played basketball for my school. I am currently a management consultant in the Philadelphia area. I've always wanted to learn how to dance. Not necessarily at a professional level, but at a level where i am comfortable and confident dancing a lot of different dances (swing, salsa, fox trot, tango etc).

I have known since age 5 that I love dancing. I took a ballet class at age 12 and a ballroom dance class during my freshman year of college. I even joined a Morris Dance troupe when I was a senior in college. I simply love to dance.
I lived in Nashville, TN for just under 17 years and I did salsa for four years and swing dancing for three. I stopped dancing for personal reasons (one of which being not having a consistent partner). I recently relocated to northwest Alabama and decided to reconnect with my passion. I have started doing ballroom dance a few months ago and I am hooked! I never want to stop dancing again. In fact, I am ready to push myself to become the best dancer I can be. I want to perform, and maybe one day participate in a competition.

I really enjoy Ceroc / Leroc (intermediate) and salsa (improver/intermediate) - it's a challenge, keeps me fit and so different from my professional job! I have attended workshops, weekends and dance holidays both in the UK and abroad on a regular basis, but now wish to progress to a higher level.
I have been taught ballroom at Dance Works in Central London.
I'm a graduate and professionally qualified. I regularly attend an Anglican church.
I enjoy travelling to explore new places that I have not visited before.

I felt like I fell in love for the first time when I found partner dancing in 2019. I grew up playing sports and have always loved movement of all types. I had even dabbled in different types of dance in my 20’s – 40’s (lyrical, ballet, modern, contra, zumba), but nothing really stuck until I found social dancing at a local ballroom studio. I had taken beginner ballroom classes before, but having a place to put what I learned into practice every week made all the difference. Plus, I finally found an instructor who really taught me how to follow. I threw myself into ballroom dancing that first year, and also experimented with salsa and Lindy Hop. But then Covid hit, and soon after, a concussion from a bicycle fall… the latter kept me from dancing for 2.5 years. I just returned in the fall of 2022.
So, technically I’ve only been dancing for a total of 1.5 years. My dance teacher says I'm advanced bronze but sometimes I dance with Silver-level leads in Foxtrot and Waltz. I lack a lot in terms of training in anything but the basic footwork and patterns in most of the dances done in ballrooms. Nonetheless, my current dance partners say I’m a solid follow. I suspect that is because I’ve been so kinesthetically oriented my whole life -- I am fit and strong and at home in my body. The combination of my fast reflexes and proprioceptive sensitivity means I can usually respond well to patterns I haven’t experienced before if they are led well. I also played music growing up, so I think I have a better than average sense of rhythm. Lastly, I am comfortable with myself, so I am not afraid to make mistakes as I learn and welcome feedback from partners. Plus, I LOVE it and am committed to practicing, so I tend to learn fast. All that means that although I’m still a newbie to partner dancing, I think I’ve got the raw material to be a great dance partner.
I LOVE partner dancing, like no other activity ever in my life. I love that dancing gives me a place to express myself in different ways, to expand who I am even. Meanwhile, I am also grateful that it gives me a sense of community and an opportunity for play in my life. But I also want it to fill the hole left by athletics and playing music – a place where I strive for excellence. I want dance to be that place, but without the risk of losing the fun and joy of it. And not just because I want to be better at it, but because I find the process of growing in something – anything, really – satisfying in itself.

My passion is dancing, all styles. Tap dancing, jazz, ballet (I teach those styles) and love to dance, latin, ballroom, jive etc. Danced competitively for 15 months 2004/2005. Competed in 8 Championships in Latin and won them all including the Australian Dancesport Latin Championship in 2004. Would definitely consider re-entering the competition scene. Performed with Todd McKenney (Dancing with the Stars Judge) in November 2005 in his show "Todd McKenney Live" at the Palms at Crown Casino in Melbourne (Tap Dancing).

I have taken private lessons in American Smooth and West Coast Swing for about five years and a great many ballroom and swing group classes. I've also taken lots of dance workshops and go to West Coast Swing conventions a couple of times a year. I'm a serious student both of ballroom and West Coast Swing and am very eager to find a skillful and reliable practice partner to work on either or both dances with. In the case of West Coast Swing, I have a great many WCS DVDs that I'd like to have someone to study and practice with me. If you'd also like to attend some classes and lessons with me, that would be great but at a minimum I'd like someone to practice once a week with. My main goal is excellent social dancing but I have performed a couple of times. I'm not really very interested in competing but if that is your thing I would do my best to support you in developing those skills and possibly would be willing to compete with you if the process didn't take more time than I have to devote to dance. It is my hobby and I also have lots of other responsibilities that I have to fulfill and have a very demanding professional position so I don't get off work until 6 or 7 p.m.

Lindy hop is by far my favorite dance. I've been dancing since 1998 with a long break to get married, have kids, then divorced. I got back to dancing Lindy in 2017. I don't lead lots of fancy patterns, my instructors were more into the quality of movement and partnership to allow for the "follow" to improvise. So it is more about musicality and spontaneous collaboration.
I spent a couple of years in the early 2000's trying Argentine Tango. It is my second favorite but not nearly as fun as Lindy. I learned several other American ballroom dances, but these are all rusty.

Goals will eventually be competition I imagine, but I’m a few months in so would like to learn more and get more social exposure to dance
