About David

David brings an intriguing combination of delight, patience, skill and creativity to the teaching of Argentine Tango.

He is a very analytical teacher, with a deep understanding of what makes movement beautiful. He also has a unique ability to create simple exercises and to provide explanations which transmit this understanding to his students.

David's early formative tango teacher was Michael Walker. He studied with many world class Argentine performers and instructors, although Milena Plebs and Horacio Godoy were both notable influences in his tango. He studied modern dance with Marni Wood (former dancer / director of the Martha Graham school) and Ethel Dias (former teacher with Alvin Ailey Extension) and Fran Cohen (Center Dance Ensemble director). He is studying Chen Style (Practical Method) Tai Chi Chuan with Chen Zhonghua. He has been teaching Argentine Tango for over 20 years.
