Dancer for events

Dancing with a Taxi Dancer is an important strategy to get more consistent practice hours with a skilled dancer who gives you feedback. I recommend a two-hour focused practice for every hour of class as the ideal way to turn those learnings into skills.

As a beginner/intermediate level dancer, it’s often difficult to get dances at a Milonga, which can be a high pressure environment, especially for leaders. Taxi dancers can help you develop the confidence and skills to adapt and thrive in these places.

You can also hire a taxi dancer as a group to go to a milonga and dance with each of you, this is a great option too.

My tips for practicing with hired dance partners:

Practice with someone who is better than you or at least as good. It's a great way to reinforce what you've learned in your classes and engrain it into your muscle memory.

There are many hired dance partners, both men and women, from intermediate to advanced levels, available to help you practice. However, it can be difficult to find one that matches your height, skill level, and style. (Don't worry, we have a list to help you with that.)

If you go to a milonga or practice session with a hired dance partner, don't dance only with them. Dance with other people as well. Try to dance with your hired partner only during the tandas when you're not dancing with someone else.

You can ask your hired dance partner to introduce you to other people at the event.

Sometimes, you just need your hired dance partner to accompany you for one or two tandas to encourage other dancers to invite you to dance.

The price is for one hour, minimum three hours, plus the entrance fee to the milonga.
