How did you meet your regular dance partner?

Just wondered how everyone met their regular dance partner

Were you a couple or good friends already

Met at class

Met at a club night

Met at an event or congress

:confused:
 
Process:

1. met in a class
2. she asked me to practice
3. we became good friends with similar interests, ambition and drive for salsa

*shoulder shrug*
 
I don't have one either. There are perhaps a few dozen people (guys & girls) I dance with regularly (meaning at least 3-4 dances a week). They are simply my social dancing friends who come out to dance as often as I do (or almost :P). There are a number of girls I use as guinea pigs for practising new moves, and some guys also use me as their guinea pig.
 
I taught her to dance from being a beginner.
we needed another teaching assistant so we trained her up on her teaching.
My then current dance/teaching partner went of to a sunnier climate to get married.
Needed new dance/teaching partner, jobs a good 'un as they say up in the North (UK)

New and improved version - excellent :D
 
Good question. I actually do not have a regular dance partner as I travel a lot for work so I dance in a lot of different places thus I have to dance with a lot of different people.

It is fun meeting new people and learning about the HUGE differences in salsa culture, salsa music, salsa styles and salsa fashion in different countries all over the world!
 
It is lucky so many people here have friends who also dance thus you already have a dance partner when you start. At my university, the salsa classes offered require you to sign up with a parter. My friend didn't know any guys who danced so she found the cutest guy in class who just happens to also be on the school football team as a winger. She said if he attended two dance classes with her, she would go and cheer him on for two of his football games. He said "ja" which means "yes"! haha
 
emarrific - I would consider you a regular. Whenever I see you (which isn't often enough) I ask you to dance and I have a great time.

I have regular(s), plural. Partners I will always dance with whenever I see them. I would say there are about 20 of them.
 
I realize that a lot of people here are intermediate, advanced or performance level salsaras or salsaros. I was wondering if most people have a regular dance partner they train with or if most of the dances you do are with different people every outing?
 
I have a few favorites that I do a lot of my dancing with, but I also try to dance with everyone. Very few people come with a dedicated partner that they stick with all night.

There are people I regularly social dance with, but I don't have a practice partner. I'd quite like one actually, preferably one who gets really snotty with me if I'm lazy.

Well Sweavo, it sounds like you would be a great candidate for one of those salsa competition reality television shows where they show you first meeting your dance partner, they show the challenges you face, they show the injuries you sustain, they show her getting snotty with if you get lazy then they show you competing in front of a live audience :)

I don't perform and I don't have a regular dance partner. I do have a number of female friends I used as guinea pigs for testing/practising new moves, and I have been a guinea pig myself to a few male friends.
