Ballroom/social dance advice

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 27, 2017

Nervous about going social dancing? Want to get into the social dancing/ballroom scene but don't know where to start?

I'll answer any questions you have, and give you advice depending on where your skill level is at on:
-Clothes: helpful suggestions to keep from overheating or having fashion mishaps.
-Dance styles: Where to start, differences between them, etc.
-Classes: Where to start, where to find them, etc.

Training & Qualifications


I have learned lead and follow for: west coast swing, east coast swing, waltz, tango, rumba, salsa, nightclub 2-step, and probably a few more. I'm a little rusty, but I studied those dances for several years, and was pretty active in the Portland dance scene for a while.
I also have training in belly dancing and hip hop.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Katie Futterwacken

I'm an art major, dance enthusiast, and lover of the stars. I love outdoorsy things like rock climbing, white water rafting, snowboarding, and kayaking. I love social dancing. I've been trained in ...ballroom dancing, latin dancing, hip hop, and belly dancing. I'm not quite as active nowadays as I used to be, since school has been taking up most of my time and I don't have the funds for those hobbies. I love crazy art projects- if you need someone to help with a large scale project, I'd be willing to help out. I'm skilled in drawing, painting, ceramics, glass casting (although I don't have the supplies for that), comic book drawing, cartoons, realistic drawings, animation, body art, knitting, crocheting, dream catchers, cardboard art, paper sculptures, photography.... I have two associate degrees from Portland Community College, studied graphic design for a year at Portland State University, and will be graduating from Western Oregon University this spring with a Bachelor of Science in Studio Art. show more
