international latin american, ballet

I have been always loved dancing. I took some ballroom dancing when I was a child. Recently fall in love with Argentinian Tango.

Well, I love to dance, I like to learn differente dances, for Example, I don't know to dance Tango, but I want to learn, 80's Music, and Salsa too.

I've been socially dancing ballroom, latin, CW, swing, Argentine tango for a long time. I love it all and ready to hit the floor after this past year of isolation!

Dancing and humour are my passions. My life is full of both. I also play guitar poorly and sing worse but make up for both with enthusiasm. I am rather outspoken, I'm told, but find it leaves less room for poor communication. It is difficult to read minds and body language. If you talk to me I won't have to guess. I'm calm and told calming. My laugh is usually hearty as it is hard to control. One might say I amuse easily. I don't cook beyond awsome toast and popcorn.

I danced with the MIT ballroom dance team during grad school and competed in amateur competitions in the Boston area for ~6 years. It was so much fun that I participated in as many competitions as my schedule would allow including MIT, Harvard, Yale, Brown and Boston University competitions placing in the finals of Standard, Latin, and Smooth. My proficiency when I stopped competing was Gold level. I took a break from dancing after I completed grad school but would like to get back into it. I think ballroom dancing is like Oxygen. You cannot live without it! :)

I am a professional Ballroom and Latin dance instructor/competitor.

Dance always fascinates me and it becomes a part of my life. After having experienced Argentina Tango for six years, I started to learn the International Ballroom (focusing on Standard so far and planning for Latin). Now, I love it more than ever. I am trying my best to make great improvements and to win competitions!

I had competed in International Standard for 4 years and long forgot the joy of social dancing.

I am involved in everything (work, music, civic, politics, art, home, family, travel) but want to dance more. Very musical, quick study, I have a non-conformist groove. Big smile, bright blue eyes, flirty. Not too serious, but love to do everything well. Wide variety of musical taste and dance styles, some private lessons, mostly genetic talent. Both my parents danced. We danced with Dad as kids after dinner. I grew up thinking everyone danced after dinner...

Current Pursuits: WCS, Tango, Mid-Century Modern Architecture preservation, Chopin's Ballade No.1, house siding repair, a triathlon, design guidelines, Abstract Impressionist Painters, tequila

I’m interested in finding a dance partner to practice with for social dancing. I’ve been dancing salsa on 2 on and off for 20 yrs. Recently I’ve been taking classes on 1 again to refresh myself. I have been dancing bachata for the last year. I also love social cha cha but I’m not as advanced at it.

Started in ballroom then East Coast swing/lindy. Spent time in Houston Tx. and really took a quick liking to West Coast Swing and Country Western. Would love to improve to a competition level in any of the above, however first and foremost comes the joy and fun of dancing, so i don't get overly serious and restricted by technical issues, rather dance to the music and make sure we both enjoy the dance. Love to improvise and work on new steps. Really like the smooth international dances and WCS. Between group lessons and open dances I currently dance approx 2-4 nights a week. When playing golf I have been known to dance between Golf holes also.

I'm a natural dancer with a smooth lead style. I dance daily and I have installed a hardwood floor in a 14' x 20' room in my house for dance practice. I'm serious about learning to dance.

At this point I have some silver level foxtrot and American smooth waltz. I have a desire to take my waltz to silver level or beyond. I learn quickly and I practice.

I have done a cha-cha/bachata showcase and was part of a rumba showcase at dances and I'd like to work up another showcase routine like a waltz or foxtrot/swing. I'm interested in dance competition as a way to take dance to a higher level.

Look for me at dances like the Sesame dance at the Norse or Glen Tadina dance at the Clark County Dance Center. If you'd like to meet me, let's meet during a dance.

I live in East Vancouver/Camas and it's an easy drive to get to Norse, Polish, Melody, Parkrose and other North Portland dance venues.

I'm hoping there's someone who'd like to work with the Parkrose instructors to get really good at smooth dances.

I also hang out with a fun bunch of swing dancers and I'd love to find a really good follow who wants to learn Lindy, Charleston, and more east coast swing.

I'm single and don't have children. I work a 40 hour a week job so that I have evenings and weekends free for dance lessons and practice. Hope to hear from you soon!

I am a very good east cost swing dancer (former member of Cincinnati Bop Club...my waltz isn't to bad either. I dance for fun not for perfection. I'm here in Green Bay for 3 months. Home is Cincinnati.

Dancing is my passion! I started in 1986 with ballroom standard/latin and hustle, since 2012 I've been dancing intensively Argentine Tango, and started with free improvisation, but I have tested and danced a number of different dances, too. Thus, I am interested in a wide range of dances, it also depends on the preferences of the dancing partner.

I am also open to dance festivals, tango marathons, dance vacations etc. My dream is a stay in Buenos Aires or on Cuba.

As here in my region of Stuttgart I can't even find a handful of suiting ladies, I am not subscribed.

Tanzen ist meine Leidenschaft! Angefangen habe ich vor etwa 30 Jahren mit Standard/Latein und Disco-Fox, seither habe ich vieles ausprobiert und getanzt (Tango Argentino, Milonga & Vals, Salsa, Merengue & Bachata, Forró, Rock'n'Roll, Ceilidh, Volkstänze). Tango Argentino tanze ich nun seit 2012 intensiv, parallel habe ich mit freier Improvisation angefangen. Ich bin immer mal wieder mit einer Hobby-Formation aufgetreten, z.B. auf Bällen, zuletzt 2011/12 mit einer Jive-Formation mit ballettartiger Choreografie inkl. Hebefiguren im Rahmen des Jubiläums einer Ballettschule sogar in einem richtigen Theater mit etwa 600 Zuschauern. Ich habe an (leider nur) einem Breitensportturnier teilgenommen und wäre prinzipiell auch für Turniertanz offen. D.h. ich bin tänzerisch sehr vielseitig interessiert, es hängt eben auch von der Tanzpartnerin ab.

Ich würde gerne Kizomba und West Coast Swing (WCS) (kennen)lernen.

Offen bin ich auch für Tanz-Festivals, Tango-Marathons, Tanz-Urlaube etc. Mein Traum ist ein Urlaub in Buenos Aires oder auf Kuba.

Ab und zu bin ich zu Besuch in Berlin und gehe auch dort gern tanzen. Ich besuche auch gerne Tanzveranstaltungen in der näheren und weiteren Umgebung, vor allem in der wärmen Jahreszeit Open-Air-Milongas.

Da in meinem Umkreis hier in Stuttgart nicht einmal eine Handvoll passender Damen zu finden sind, habe ich mich bisher nicht angemeldet, bin aber auch woanders zu finden, z.B. bei tanzen jetzt Punkt Netz (auf Englisch übersetzen und zusammensetzen ;-) ).

I have a varied and extensive experience in Ballroom dance (not necessarily continuous) covering 20+ years. Have competed pro-am and formation. Participated in theater productions as well. Returned last year from a 6-year hiatus and have retained a private instructor with the goal of returning to competitive dancing. Expectations for this year are at least 2 comps at open level.

I would like to practise Argentine Tango 3 times/week

Actually I take lessons in Stockwell and Balham.

I've been dancing ballroom since high school, 15+ years, I competed in college, but haven't kept up with my dancing in the last few years. I've mostly been dancing salsa and some argentine tango recently. I would like to get back into my dancing again and learn some new moves and dances, possibly compete or perform. I just love being on the dance floor using my creative energy through dance, it's great therapy and exercise!

My primary focus in dancing is Argentine Tango; it captures me in a way that no other form of dancing does. My goal is to become the best milonguero around; I do not have much of an interest in competing. I am branching out to other dances (I'm learning contact improv, a very fun, silly, and bruising--eeep!--form of dance, and would like to dip into swing, salsa, and non-competitive ballroom again), and would like someone who could help me out with thembut tango is, was, and always will be the thing that has captured my heart.

I have been trained by some international coaches and have a lot of international experience, in both international and American style of dance. I am an experienced performer.

I train latin dance and salsa. Dance is my biggest passion and I would like dance were also my job.

I own a dance studio in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. We are currently looking for gentlemen who would like a career as a dance instructor for our studio. I am looking for an instructor for the studio, as well as a Standard Ballroom Dance Partner. In the midwest we mostly teach American Style, but I love Standard. We would like to find someone who is interested in teaching DVIDA Syllabus, and is a part of the team, including social dances, formal events, private lessons, group classes, competitions, and travel.

I began dancing socially in 2001, competed with the Purdue Ballroom Dance Team under the instruction of Nicole Carroll and Dan Rutherford from 2004-2006, and began a career as a ballroom instructor in 2012. I've competed American Smooth and International Standard since 2014. I am open to becoming an International 10-dance competitor, but feel Standard is my passion and forte. I am now a studio owner and looking for an employee as well as dance partner. I would like a partner to learn with, take coachings with, and compete with regularly. My goal is to reach my best dance potential with a partner while elevating both of our dancing to the next level and taking care of the studio's customers by providing great instruction and service!
