I am a retired teacher and have taught research, writing, photography, mathematics, and instructional design at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

I am interested in learning conversational Mandarin and Spanish, and I would prefer to do so with a native speaker who wants to improve their English, whatever their current level of mastery.

I have done research in social partner dance, of which Ballroom Dance is a subset, designed dance lessons and curricula for dance studios, and have validated my findings via both field studies and case studies. I would be glad to provide introductory dance lessons to groups of 2 to 4 couples.
