Snapchat openers for dance instructors who collect retro sunglasses
How to open on Snapchat with a dance instructor who collects vintage eyewear. Hook both interests without sounding generic.
A dance instructor who collects retro sunglasses is signaling two distinct passions. She's someone who moves for a living, has an eye for style, and probably likes talking about both. Generic compliments about dancing or a basic sunglasses joke won't land because she hears those constantly.
A good opener acknowledges one specific thing from her profile and creates an opening for conversation that feels like you actually looked. The goal is to get her to reply with something more than a yes or no, and ideally to get her to Snapchat you back instead of ghosting the message.
Snapchat openers work differently than text because they feel lower stakes. She's more likely to reply if you're not trying too hard. The move is to be direct, mention something real about her profile, and give her an easy reason to respond.

Why dance instructors and collectors think differently
She's a movement person and an aesthetics person. Those aren't the same thing. Dance instructors are used to receiving attention for their bodies or their teaching ability. Sunglass collectors are used to talking about history, rarity, condition, and design lineage. If you only mention the dancing, you're ignoring half of who she is. If you only mention the sunglasses, you might come across like you're deflecting from actually knowing her. The move is to pick one and do it well, or find a specific angle that connects them.
The opener needs to show you read past the headline
Don't just say 'cool that you teach dance' or 'I like your sunglasses.' Those require zero effort. Instead, reference something specific. If her profile mentions a particular era or style of sunglasses, name it. If she's posted about a particular dance style or movement, mention it. The point is to prove you didn't just hit like and copy-paste a message. She gets dozens of those.
Then create a real question or statement that invites her to talk about something she cares about. Not a yes-or-no question. Something that requires her to actually type back.
Send on a day she's likely to check Snapchat without pressure
Snapchat messages sit differently than text. She won't feel rushed to reply, which is good. Send your opener on a weeknight or weekend afternoon, not at 2am. If she doesn't reply within three to five days, don't send a follow-up asking if she saw it. That kills any vibe you built. Instead, if you match with her elsewhere or see her again in your feed, try a completely different approach. Don't double down on the same joke or topic. If she wanted to talk, she would have.
Why these openers fail
“omg those sunglasses are fire, you have great taste”
Generic compliment that doesn't ask her anything or show you know what style she actually collects
“so do you teach dance or just wear cool sunglasses”
False choice that makes her pick between two parts of her identity instead of opening a real conversation
“teach me to dance sometime? I promise I won't step on your feet lol”
Tired joke that hundreds of people make to dance instructors, shows zero personality
Common mistakes
- Asking which decade of sunglasses she prefers before she even replies once
- Complimenting her dancing ability based on a photo, which feels hollow
- Making a joke about teaching people to dance and assuming she'll find it funny
- Sending a message that could work for literally any woman on the platform
- Following up after no reply by asking if she got your first message
Questions people ask
- Should I mention the sunglasses or the dancing first?
- Pick whichever one you can actually speak to with specifics. If you know the difference between cat eye and oversized frames, go sunglasses. If you've taken a dance class or follow that style, go dancing. But don't half-commit to both. One strong angle beats two weak ones.
- What if her Snapchat doesn't show what style of sunglasses she collects?
- Ask her about it directly. Don't assume retro means 70s or 80s. Say something like 'what era are you hunting for right now' instead of generic stuff. That's way better than guessing.
- How long should I wait before I message her again if she doesn't reply?
- At least a week. If she hasn't replied in five to seven days, she's not going to. Don't send a second message to the same person about the same thing. Move on or restart completely with a different angle if you cross paths again.
- Should I ask her to dance or go out in my first message?
- No. First message is about getting her to reply, not closing a date. Save the ask for after you've had a few back-and-forth messages where she's actually engaging with you.
