Practicing with a partner is an inexpensive method to improve your dancing
If you are interested in any of the below-listed potential partners, please call or e-mail us with their partner ID #, and your contact information. We recommend meeting at one of our weekly public dance parties to try dancing together, discuss practice schedules and goals, etc. Commit to a 2 week trial period, then discuss after that trial period if a longer-term practice/lesson commitment will work for you.

Goals: to be comfortable on a social dance floor. I don't have any competitive goals right now but who knows? I'm available weekends (live 30 minutes away from the studio) and weeknights (I work 50 minutes away from the studio, so 6:30 is the earliest I can arrive). 2-3 get-togethers a week would be about right.
Special Requests: I'm here to relax, unwind and have fun. If this is an intensely competitive thing for you, I'm probably not the right partner. I'm a bit quite and reserved at first.
