Question
I am a very tall, very thin pre-pro dancer needing a strong partner for yagp. Is there anyone over 6'2" that you know or KNOW OF who could be put in touch with me to consider being hired for this event. My school has given approval and supports fully this goal. THe partner is needed to be secured asap and rehearsal could be worked to his needs scheduling-wise.
I'm sorry but I'm not in your area and I can't help with that. The best of luck!
Sara, why don't you tell us where you are and someone from your area might have some help for you. I'm in the southern US - also a google search could bring up all your regional dance schools and groups and you might find someone that way.

| Comment | Only wish the answer could have referred me to someone else, or maybe given me leads about how to approach the problem. But i appreciate that they took the time to answer it. Thank you to the expert for trying and it's just sad because I have no idea how to find a partner as a tall female dancer. If the person was not in my area, that might have been okay depending on if he was able to travel or meet me near his area for a couple of rehearsals. But thank you for trying to answer. | ||
