Who should I take singles with?

[Joe]

I think it's more Laura's second explanation (singles vs. couples) than that one.

Some teachers will not teach just one student on a private lesson because they don't want to feel like they need to be dancing with the student for most of the lesson. They will only teach couples. Other teachers will take the one student, in a so-called "singles" lesson.

that's right. Some coaches in NYC are like that. They don't teach single students except that student is doing pro-am. If a few students fighting for the same slot of lessons, the pro-am student on priority list.

If you are not interested in pro-am, try take lessons from some very well established pro ladies who are very experienced, always busy training/traveling to compete; very high ranking experienced pros usually teach very serious am competitors, so they might have some inside info of if one of their very serious am students split or some other serious am come to them asking help for partner.

It's SOOOOOOO hard to track down the high-profile pro ladies. They are always all over the world... and there is no consistency. I am thinking of tracking down one of them for occasional high-level coaching and partnership information when possible, and have another young pro to have more floor time??

Thoughts?

sounds like a plan

 

[Standarddancer]

Right now nobody is in town because of all pro ladies are traveling for International. Most of them should be back by the end of this week.

Kitty, Standarddancer, you guys are much more connected. Would you please let me know when the high-profile pro ladies come back and hook me up?

 

[Standarddancer]

ok will let you know. Come by BOF next week, you should see some of them

certainly happy to help, pm me which lady you'd like me to connect you to
I'll keep eyes open for you if I see an open level girl looking for a partner

 

[dancepro]

I have been looking for a partner for a while . Now I feel like I need to be more active and start taking singles, but I don't plan to compete in pro-am. Hopefully the coach knows some amateur girls that she can introduce me to.

Recommendations?

I am sending you a pm with some suggestions
