Fat chance, but I thought I'd give it a go. I know a lot of people use DF, but I believe it's all mostly North American people. Here are my stats though, just in case:
5'7" wos
130 pounds
Intermediate level, Latin (open to dancing Ballroom as well)
22 years old
based in Leicester, UK
Looking for a partner to practice or compete with, & preferably take lessons with as well.
I am in England until August 2008, and then I move back home to the USA (I am on a year long exchange program at the University of Leicester). I'm on facebook too, so send me a shout if you want to exchange names. So if some lucky guy is looking for a girl to practice/compete with for the next five months or so, then please send me a message at: Lbohonik@ku.edu. Thanks!
HELP ME PLEASE!!!! lol. Yes, I am begging now!

There's a partner search forum at dancesport dot uk dot com ... no luck from your uni dance club?

No luck at my Uni dance club. Everyone is either a beginner or has a partner already. I've swear I've been to every major dancepartner search page on the internet: dancesport UK, dancepartner dot com, & I'm signed on to nearly every facebook partner search that exists.
really really bites!
if anyone knows of anyone else, or knows a better website than those, than please share!

The guy is lucky, but look who's asking for help. Such an irony ;)

Sigh....Does it ever get easy to find a lasting partner???
It's like every guy is either too good (like been dancing since they were 3 or something ridiculous) or they are COMPLETELY new. Where are all in the inbetween people? And more specifically, where are those inbetween people in England at???
We're in New Jersey!
at the center of the universe . . .
at the center of the universe . . .
Nah, NJ is the middle of nowhere when it comes to partners. NYC is the center of the universe !

If I have to go to Jersey (or New England in general) to see the center of the universe, I think I'll be happy to stay on the edge. Or the very fringe, here in Kuwait. ;)

Aren't you are leaving in August Nik? - if you find someone isn't that going to be a factor for him? Won't he ask the same question?

Absolutely. A good dance partner? Sure to get a tax credit from the FEDs.

Pickings aren't much better for female partners up here in Albany, New York

ummm....we do not allow dance advertisements for partners in our main ballroom forum guys, so I'll be moving this thread to dance ads. Sorry!
