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

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 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.

I would love to learn more West Coast swing. And, at some point, try to compete.

I'm professional dancer, Instructor, teacher, choreographer.

I was dancing as a professional ballet dancer for three years, as a folk dances for 8 years in National Company, as professional tango dancer during last 26 years, and I'm school director in the first school of Ballroom Dance American style in Argentine, forming and training professional instructors since 12 years ago and now I ‘ll living in the Miami city.

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.

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 started dancing at the end of 2013 and am enjoying myself thoroughly. I'd like to build my skills to a proficient level in several dances, just for the fun of it !

I am a fun and outgoing individual. Dancing is always an adventure. I like learning and expanding my horizons. I like to be flexible and love to learn.

I really love dancing and would like to have a go at competition dancing. i have an excellent teacher who continues to improve my ability. like tango rumba cha cha and pase doble(continue to work on the waltz quickstep samba and jive) would really love to compete partly for the fun and also for the focus it potentially gives to improvement. just passed gold(waltz quickstep and tango and foxtrot) in ballroom and latin gold (jive, samba, cha cha cha and rumba)

I dance for fun and as a social activity. My favorite dances are latin in origin. I am well educated, soft spoken and always polite with great manners.
