Why is the right dance partner so important?

How can I find a dance partner who really suits me? A legitimate question, because harmony is what counts in dancing.

If you're looking for a dance partner for a dance course, you'll know that many things are easier with a partner. You help each other progress, grow from small mistakes and motivate each other to keep going. A stable dance dynamic can be really crucial, especially in classes with regular couples.

Even if you specifically want to find a salsa dance partner, you will quickly realize that only if the vibe is right will the interaction really work, similar to your salsa dance shoes. Music, body tension, leadership - all of these intertwine when you complement each other well.

The right person will turn an exercise session into a real experience and a passion that will enrich your life. That's why it's worth asking: How do I find a dance partner?who not only knows the steps, but also feels the rhythm together with you.

Where can I find the right dance partner?

You can find dance partners via online portals, notices in dance schools or social media groups.

Possible points of contact:

  • Local dance schools (often with their own placement services)
  • Dance parties and social dance events (certainly also in your area)
  • Dance festivals for worldwide contacts (e.g. Croatian Summer Salsa Festival)
  • Facebook groups & forums (e.g. regional dance communities or our DancingQueens WhatsApp community)

1. dance schools: the classic way

Many dance schools now offer the option of taking part without a fixed dance partner. The partner is changed regularly during the lessons, which has several advantages:

  • You learn to adapt to different leading styles.
  • You become more confident and flexible - ideal for preparing for dance parties.
  • You will quickly make new contacts and build a dance community.


Tip: Look for dance schools that regularly organize social dance events. There you can continue dancing and meet new people straight after the classes.

2. dance parties: meet new people easily

Social dance events and dance parties give you the best opportunity to meet new dance partners. Most dancers are open to new acquaintances, so take the plunge!


Be asked by other dancers - or take the first step yourself. The more regularly you go to parties, the more people you will meet again. Even without a regular dance partner, you can find plenty of opportunities to dance here.


Tip: A friendly smile and eye contact are often enough to get you asked. If you're unsure, just ask - most dancers are happy to receive an invitation!

3. dance festivals: find dance partners worldwide

Dance festivals are ideal if you want to dance more intensively and meet new people from all over the world. Here you can:

  • Attend workshops with international trainers.
  • Learn new dance techniques and try them out directly at the parties.
  • Dance the night away - with different partners.

Tip: Even if you are traveling alone - you will automatically meet new people at festivals. Friendships and dance partnerships often develop here that last far beyond the festival.


Our recommendation:

Croatian Summer Salsa Festival - one of the biggest Salsa/Bachata/Kizomba festivals worldwide (and we are there too!). Think of your dance sweater! It could get cold in the evening.

4. Facebook groups & online forums: Search for dance partners

There are numerous ways to find dance partners online - whether for classes, parties or competitions.


Tip: When you post a message, be specific:

  • Which dance style do you prefer?
  • What level do you have?
  • In which city or region are you looking?

With new partners, it's the same as with newdance shoes: The closer you are to the description and selection, the more likely you are to find a suitable match.

Looking for a dance partner? How to make first contact

A friendly, clear introduction gets the search moving. If you want to find a dance partner who suits you like your new dance dressconvince them with personality and openness instead of empty phrases.

A direct, appreciative tone is what counts in the first message. Introduce yourself briefly, state your dance style, level and what you are looking for. A sentence like "Hey, I'm looking for a dance partner for the next salsa class - would that suit you?", is often enough.

Questions like "How do I get to know you?

  • How long have you been dancing?
  • What kind of music do you enjoy?
  • What makes a good workout for you?

It will quickly become clear whether it fits rhythmically and interpersonally.

Before the first training session, it's best to clarify the location, time and training goal. A short trial training session together often says more than many words in advance.

Found a dance partner - now what?

A clear goal, an honest exchange and mutual motivation will strengthen your training together. If you have found a dance partner, you are now laying the foundations for real teamwork.


To help you develop together regular check-ins. What is going well? What do you want to improve? Talk about your progress, give each other honest feedback - briefly and directly. If you're wondering: How can I find a dance partner with whom it will work in the long term, this is exactly where you should start.


Conflicts usually arise from misunderstandings. Clear communication is the be-all and end-all. Be specific about what you want and avoid criticizing between the door and the door. A simple "Can we go through this more slowly?", usually achieves more than silence or frustration.


You will stay motivated in the long term if you small goals a new figure, a free dance evening or perhaps a joint show.
