English term or phrase: I wish you have a successful dance!
Or any similar variation which might sound O.K. in Russian. It is for a couple who are going to dance in front of the public for the first time (classic dance). Thanks!

Dear El Cid Campeador,

I should say you\'ve got a very nice-looking ProZ profile and

I RECOMMEND ALL MY COLLEAGUES TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT!

I can only hope to be able one day to create something similar for myself.

Thanks to everybody, specially to Nikita and to Mk_lab, whose answer I will use as well. Sorry I can't divide the points, I always have the same dialemma! (Ehem, Nikita, you needn't have said such nice things about my profile, really... :-):-) I'm very embarrassed now!) (Сергей: no, it's not an Argentinian tango, but thanks anyway, see you soon in the Spanish KudoZ :-). Thanks to everybody again, my Russian is very very poor and in this case I have to admit I followed the peer opinions.

agree  Сергей Лузан: "выступить" - тоже.
16 mins
  -> Спасибо. Мне кажется, лучше "выступление", только потому, что в оригинале употреблено существительное.
agree  Steffen Pollex (X): Точно, или "удачно выступить". "Танец" или "танцевать" в русском не подходит.

Zhelau vam pobedit'


Explanation:
Translation word by word will not sound really nice, I guess...

If to talk about a similar variation then
Желаю вам победить - zhelau vam pobedit' - I wish you to win
Желаю вам выиграть - zhelau vam vyigrat' - the same meaning

Желаем (ю) успешного выступления!


Explanation:
This is a nice way of putting it, especially if the dance is a sort competition (or a sort of a challenge for the couple (which seems to be out of the context)).
Cheers,

Boris
