Find a dance partner for students: Ready for the prom
By Mary De LucaUpdated
- Ask your circle of friends, classmates, or sports clubs first to find a familiar partner for your dance course.
- Use official dance school notice boards or the age filters on udansa to specifically search for other teenagers aged 13 to 17.
- Communicate honestly from the start about your dance experience, your expectations for the course, and the dates for the big graduation ball.
- Prioritize your safety when searching online by planning your first meetings in the presence of friends or directly at the dance school.
Your first school dance course is coming up and you still don't have anyone by your side for the big graduation ball? Don't worry: With the right strategy, you will quickly and reliably find the perfect partner in the right age group on udansa.
What you need to get started
- Parental consent for your course registration
- Appropriate age between 13 and 17 years
- Desire to learn ballroom and Latin dances
- Smart clothing for the upcoming graduation ball
- A little courage for the first step when asking someone to dance
Together on the dance floor: The challenge of finding a partner
The first dance class and the subsequent graduation ball are among the most exciting moments of school life. However, the anticipation is often dampened by one question: Who will dance with me? Finding a dance partner for students is usually not that easy if no one in your own circle of friends is interested in ballroom dancing or everyone is already taken. It is important now to stay calm and approach the search systematically. For teenagers between 13 and 17 years old, there are excellent, safe ways to get someone of the same age excited about the dance floor.
Before you start your search, it helps to take a look at the various possibilities. Many teenagers start their search directly in their own grade, but looking beyond the horizon of your own school is also worth it. Whether through sports clubs, social media, or udansa: A suitable dance class student partner can almost always be found if you communicate openly and start planning early. Use this phase not only to learn how to dance, but also to make new contacts.
Five steps to the perfect dance partner
Ask around in your own circle
Ask specifically in your class, the parallel class, or your sports club. Often, other young people are quietly looking for a partner and just don't dare to take the first step.
Use the notice boards of dance schools
Visit the websites of local dance schools and post your request on their online forums or physical notice boards. This way, you reach exactly the teenagers who are already interested in the same course.
Activate age filter online
Create a profile on secure platforms like udansa. Use the age filters to specifically search for peers between 13 and 17 years old who are also looking for a prom dance partner.
Write honestly and openly
Write a friendly message to potential partners. Briefly explain which course you would like to attend and whether you can already dance or are an absolute beginner.
Arrange a casual meet-up
Meet up for an ice cream or directly at the dance studio before the course actually starts. This way, you will quickly notice if the chemistry is right and if you will feel comfortable dancing together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ask the dance school directly for a singles list when you register. Many dance schools maintain internal waiting lists for teenagers without a fixed partner and will pair people up appropriately during the first lesson.
Yes, this is standard practice in almost all dance schools. The dance instructors make sure that the dance couples are well-matched in terms of height and age, so that no one has to stand on the sidelines alone.
Bring up the topic early and casually. You can suggest trying out the course together as a group with several friends to lower the barrier for everyone involved.
