✨DANCE PARTNER SEARCH!✨

Dance Friends!
I am seeking a new professional dance partner to compete in American Smooth, or 9-Dance. I would be very grateful if you could keep your eyes peeled for partner-less tall male leads out there! Please have a look below, share this post with your network, and/or reach out to me with any questions. Thank you! - Mx

✨L O O K I N G - F O R:

-Tall Male Lead: 6’0”feet/183cm or taller

-Experienced Pro Competitive Dancer (a plus if you have additional dance background, such as ballet, jazz, modern).

-Has a healthy approach to competition, good work ethic, while managing work/life balance.

✨A B O U T - M E:

-Height Without Heels: 5'9" or 175cm

-Dance Foundation: Classical Ballet (The Kansas City Ballet School) from ages 8-16 years old. Transitioned to amateur Ballroom & Latin dance at 17 years old. Competed amateur on the Oxford University (UK) Dancesport team throughout college (on the Latin A team). Competed in Rising Star and Open Professional Smooth immediately after college, and most recently competed in Rising Star and Open Professional American Rhythm with Ian Meeks from 2021-2023.

-Located in Nashville, TN. I’m not able to relocate due to owning my Personal Training business. Distance partnership may be possible. However, for the right partner, my home dance studio (independent) has room for another lead instructor in Nashville, TN.

-I am a dedicated dancer with a good work ethic, who highly values health and fitness, and maintaining balance between work and personal life.

✨R E F E R E N C E S:

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions (or tryout inquiries) as well as a few references I've listed below!

During my partnership with Ian we worked with a number of excellent coaches, two of which were Martin Cawston and Kimberley Mitchell, both have graciously agreed to be references for me.

Additionally, JT Thomas has choreographed and coached a number of routines for me in Nashville, TN, and is happy to be a reference.

Ian Meeks, my most recent professional dance partner, is also happy to be a professional and personal reference.

Thank you!

A little Samba from Nyah! 💃🏻✨

I’ve loved getting to work with Nyah and watch her continue to grow as a dancer. She has so much natural ability, and I’m excited to see where she takes it! ❤️

Happy to be teaching at Legacy Dance tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to seeing all of my dancers again in the morning!

Mila and I have been working together on Latin for quite some time, but I absolutely cannot take credit for how talented she is! Here she is, absolutely slaying the August Cha Cha routine! 💃

It is such a pleasure to work with all of the young dancers at Legacy Dance. Their talent and enthusiasm are unmatched, and they are a wonderful reminder of why we all fell in love with dancing in the first place, the joy, freedom, and self-expression it brings. 💗

More videos of these amazing little dancers coming soon (I will be better at posting this year! 🙃)

✨ Happy Birthday Trent! ✨

There is no one I’d rather ride the roller coaster of life with! The high highs and the low lows - both are so much more enjoyable with you! Here’s to a long and healthy life of chilling at home together, gyming, and enjoying many more adventures (at home and abroad)! ❤️

Can’t wait to celebrate with you! @trents21

🤍 Edna Phyllis Goodwin 🤍

January 4,1933 - June 12, 2025

My Grandma was a staple in my life, and so many others. She had the biggest heart and contributed to so many different communities in Long Beach, California. She was a teacher and musician for most of her life, always had a passion for learning, traveling, and helping others. She used to read us Chaucer in Middle English, she taught me how to set and/or eat at a formal dinning table, and would always correct me if I said I was “done” when I most certainly meant I was “finished” (turkeys are “done”)! She lived through The Great Depression and WW2, she traveled all over the globe (India being a big highlight for her), has 3 children, 10 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren.

She lived to 92, and in-spite of many hardships in her life, she always had the most positive and grateful attitude, that she maintained through the end. ✨

Grandma & Grandpa’s house was the only house that remained constant through my life, and it was always a home. It was also a fabulous time capsule. The palm tree at the end of the driveway got hit by many cars (never me!) but was just as resilient as Grandma.

Love you Grandma 🤍 taken in Long Beach, California by @barbellsnballroom

The gym should always be a safe space, we’re all in there just trying to better ourselves (physically, mentally, etc)!
.
If you see someone struggling and it’s a clear safety issue - *please* step up and offer them assistance! 🙏

(I’ve gotten stuck under a bar before, it happens to the best of us!)

🤍 B U D D Y 🤍
On 1/26/25 we had to put our sweet Buddy Boy to rest. We inherited Buddy and his sister Sissy from Trent’s grandparents after they passed, and we have had them around 7-ish years now. They have always been the sweetest pair of pups! 🐶💕🐶

About two weeks before we had to put him down, Buddy’s bladder ruptured, and was caught in time (at the Vet’s) to perform an emergency surgery. He was actually recovering from that really well, but became anemic, and the steroid used to treat his anemia somehow pushed him into congestive heart failure. Unfortunately the meds that would be used to treat the CHF were going to compete with the meds he would need for his kidneys, and if he survived further treatment, his quality of life would have been in question. So we made the decision we thought would be kindest for Buddy and were able to be there with him at the end. 💔

Buddy was such a sweet little dude, we miss him.

It’s been my absolute pleasure to collaborate with @ballroombox for their Holiday Box for Dancers! ✨

This season Ballroom Box subscribers received an exercise & stretch band that Duffy and I will demo here shortly (Mobility & Pre-Dance Warm-Up, yes please!), and subscribers also received an additional 25% off my favorite Thorne products to help ensure they are properly fueling themselves for the new dance season!

On the subject of properly fueling your dance journey (and life!) read my latest blog post to learn why protein is so important, what constitutes a good quality protein, and how many grams you should be aiming to eat each day!
