Looking for a dance partner? How to find your perfect match!

You want to dance regularly, but you're missing the right dance partner? Don't worry, we've all been there! Maybe you're new to the dance scene or just looking for someone who suits your style? No stress - we'll show you the best ways to find the perfect dance partner for your dance style and level.


And the best part: A little test awaits you at the endto find out which option is ideal for you!

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 styles of leading.
  • You become more confident and flexible - perfect 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.

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 simply 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 are unsure, just ask - most dancers are happy to receive an invitation!

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.
Our recommendation:


Tip: Even if you are traveling alone - you will automatically meet 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 in the world (and we'll be there too!).
