Age: 38.

Neighborhood: Society Hill.

Working girl: Owns Society Hill Dance Academy.

Faded dream: Dancing on Broadway. "That's not an easy thing to do. It's tough out there ... I don't want to have to dance for my dinner the rest of my life."

Time to teach: "I had a fake ID and I had been going to a country-western bar, and I fell in love with dancing."

Going for it: Moved here in 1995 from Minnesota. "I was so excited, I didn't even think it was going to be tough. I was just bound and determined to get out of Minnesota."

Around the clock: "Anybody I date has to submit to my schedule. There's nothing I can do about it. By 9 I am on my computer. I teach from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. ... I can go out late, but it's just not that easy. I dated somebody for three years and that was a big point of contention."

First steps: "I'd rather date a guy who can't dance than a guy who's a dancer. Are you kidding? Most male dancers are egomaniacs."

Who's loving her: Lulu, an English mastiff. "She's very dog aggressive. When any dog walks by, I have to hold her."

Nominated by: Publicist Rakia Reynolds.

If her love life were a reality TV show, it would be called: "Taboo."

Scaring them away: "I'm a business owner. I speak my mind, and I don't candy-coat things."

What she thinks of Philly men: "I think men are men, no matter where you are. They all have Y-chromosome poisoning. They can't help it."

On "Dancing with the Stars": "I would make a great judge. I'd give them some slack."

Giving back: "I am in the process of starting a nonprofit called the Philadelphia Dance Foundation to bring ballroom dancing to underserviced children in the Philadelphia area."

What she's looking for in a man: "Fun-loving. Great sense of humor. Someone who's not intimidated by a successful woman. Goofy."

We would like to thank the magical hands at Bernard’s Salon and Spa for providing hair and makeup services for most of the Sexy Singles. A special shout-out also to goes to the staff at MB & Associates for their coordination assistance. What would we do without our Sexy Singles team?

This year's layout has a City to Shore theme, which we photographed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. Thanks to everyone who helped make our time on location truly a VIP experience for the Sexy Singles!
