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!

I am an outgoing, enthusiastic, advanced-level dancer. I am in good shape having been a weight lifter since I was 14 years old and currently dancing three nights per week. I look much younger than my age. I pay attention to style and technique. Since I am retired (formerly a mechanical engineer), I have time to practice during the day.

Very physically fit, healthy and strong (I lift weights), swim climb, and do yoga. Look younger than my age. Look good in jeans, or in dressy Argentine Tango gear. Professional dude, but not
In a narcissistic way. I learned to dance 20 years ago, by taking lots and lots of group lessons, then practiced at weekly dances. Like most dancers, I was knocked out of the dance world for two years. I recently got back into it and was delightfully pleased that I didn't lose any ground. Maybe a wee rusty in a few styles, but I'm working out the kinks. My three favorite dance styles are still WCS, NC2, and Argentine Tango, which I can integregate into a fusion and delectably paint the floor. During the pandemic, I substituted dance with yoga. My balancing skills have improved and I'm ready to get it going with a special partner.

Love dancing - ballroom, latin, salsa & rock'n roll,ceroc,done some theatre work, tap, ballet etc, will learn just about anything. Have danced in one form or another most of my life. Had taken silver medal test-Latin & Ballroom (passed HC, as in all other tests) and my dancing partner quit, for personal reasons,to my huge disappointment. Have just re-started lessons, I learn well, am strong and athletic, with style. Rather rounded rather than super slim, but find regular dancing all helps, so that will improve!
Please note that the photos were taken over a number of years but the profile shot is the latest - that is now about 10 years old. I haven't changed that much but wouldn't want someone to feel they had been misled!

My preference leans toward East Coast Swing. I am Bronze level in Waltz. Have also taken lessons in; West Coast Swing, Foxtrot, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Hustle, Salsa, etc. I am a non smoker and a non drinker and I have no association with drugs. I am a retired Manager from a large corporation and I am financially sound and emotionally stable. I enjoy dancing very much and take lessons 2-3 times a week and go to dances on week-ends. I would welcome the opporunity to have a steady dance partner where there is connection and chemistry along with mutual respect. I would be willing to relocate for the right person. I am very easy to get along with so don't be shy about contacting me.

Among many of my interests in arts, I love dancing because of the music, particularly the Latin musics. I have been considered as a nature, smooth dancer and good follower.
Well, to do it right, I used to take several ballroom dance lessons per week - even thought I have socially danced in college.
Update in 2005 - I am a pretty good ballroom dancer by now. I would like to learn more fancy steps. In this case, a constant dance partner would be necessary for both of us to progress along. Update in 2014 - To keep myself active on the floor, I also join different art or dance groups with meetup dot com to attend many of their dance events or lessons. Please feel free to say hello or send email to DC.
Please make note that the map of my location provided by this site is incorrect. I live in the south part of Houston.

Very driven, motivated, disciplined and can commit up to 5/6 days a week (including weekends) for practice if local. I own my own dance company so traveling during the weekend might become more challenging but will make something work if we had to do this.
I have been training and competing in American Rhythm mostly but open to doing Smooth as well.

i have 5 sisters so i started with freestyle and watched Fred Astaire growing up and always wanted to be smooth. i started with country line dancing, but once i saw country two step and west coast swing i was hooked. i have given up on being the best and learned to be the best at having fun. after all these years of dancing, some of the most important things are really listening and dancing to the music and the same with a partner. also very good fundamental basics.

I have 2-3 yrs of Ballroom plus 8 yrs of childhood dance (jazz, ballet, etc.), 8 yrs of gymnastics and throw on a few yrs of fitness competitions so I am WITHOUT 2 left feet (have some rhythm) and pick up quickly. Am married not looking for any type of relationship other than dancing. I live 50 minutes North of Boston, will travel. I am athletic, eager to dance, learn, practice, have fun, improve and am open to competing. Looking for someone who has at least 3 years of experience, but the more the better. I am not intimidated by dancing with someone with much more training and experience and I am not afraid of hard work! LET'S DANCE - even if just for a night to see if we could work together!
