Hi, my name is Lily. I am a competitive amateur ballroom dancer in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have been dancing since 1983, specifically in the International (or competitive) style, in all ten dances, both the Standard and Latin dances. I have competed in the Championship level in both Standard and Latin as well as in Pro-Am Standard with my teachers Rex Lewis and Stephan Krauel. I make all my own costumes. Given my previous competition experience, if I compete again, I will need to compete at the Championship level. I am 5’4” (with heels) and petite build.
In 1994, I had to stop dancing due to a knee injury. No, I did not injure it while dancing, but while tripping over my garden hose (don't laugh). After going through a few years rest and some acupuncture therapy, it is strong now and I am anxious to again dance at a challenging level.
For fun I like to compete in West Coast Swing. It took me a long time to take the ‘ballroom’ out of my swing. I also enjoy going out Salsa dancing once in a while.
I am currently looking for a new dance partner to practice with and if mutually agreed upon, to compete with in the International Standard at the Championship level. I would like someone who also feels that good techique is important. I can probably start with practicing a couple of times a week. Lessons would be good to share also. I would like someone who is between 5’6” to 5’11” tall, medium build, have had Championship Standard experience and most of all, just enjoy dancing. I can be flexible with these requirements. So if you or if you know of someone who is interested, please email me.
Thanks for reading my web page and Happy Dancing!
