Class Descriptions

T

David’s theater dance classes are focused on choreography acquisition, technical skill, and the joy of dance. Stylistically, his choreography ranges from golden age to contemporary and everything in between. He centers his teaching around his three core goals. First, he hopes students will leave better than when they arrived. David encourages students to resist allowing negativity to take over when something is challenging. Secondly, his class celebrates a common love of dance and the joy of moving together. Lastly, David strives to create a positive, inclusive, & safe space, where dancers can leave behind any sense of self- doubt and build up their confidence. Together he hopes these goals foster an environment for dancers to thrive!
