Get a dog and go to one of those city dog parks, where it's so, so, easy to meet someone of the opposite sex walking their dog & strike up a conversation and you'll meet someone who likes not only dogs but ballroom dancing.

www.dancepartner.com
www.ballroomdancers.com
are the good websites to post your ad and browse other people's ads. If you compose your posts correctly you will be rarely contacted for other reasons, and you can just ignore those ones. At higher proficiency levels, there is no other way to find a partner than though an ad or by someone's reference. If you need a competitive partner go there.
Other good way is keep attending some group classes. This is where the "new in the area" guys usually go to check out local dance scene.
For social dancing, just go wherever the dancing is - there will be always somebody to dance with.

I won't lie - finding a amateur partner can be HARD. So many people cannot separate personal from professional. I have *tried* to find a dance partner, only to lose him in a couple of months after: a. he finally gets it through his head that I do NOT want to be his girlfriend, or b. he finds a girlfriend, and she grows jealous of the time he spends with me, so he quits.
Do not use Web sites to meet dance partners. You know absolutely nothing about those people. Instead, try to become a member of the local dance community by attending dance socials regularly, and by taking group classes. You will easily meet people there. I recommend helping teach a beginner class so that you can have 'dibs' on any new male talent, lol!
Your instructor may or may not help you find a partner to practice with. Many studios cannot quite understand the benefits of amateur/amateur pair-ups. They like to instead encourage their students to dance pro-am, so that they can rake in those bucks with private lessons and competition fees.
