Private Lessons

Instruction tailored to accelerate your dancing!

If you are one who likes more individual attention tailored to your specific needs, then private lessons are for you.  Learn at a pace that’s better suited to you and with a better understanding for the dance than in group classes.

With over 16 years of ballroom experience, I can help you achieve your goals in a fun and exciting atmosphere with clear and detailed information.  What sets me apart from other instructors is my continuing training with my own coaches that in turn helps provide you with the best, and most current dance techniques.

For Singles

No partner? Not to worry.  One of the best ways to learn in fact is through dancing with an expert one-on-one.

If you’ve ever seen the TV show, “Dancing With the Stars”, you are familiar with how much a person can improve from day 1 to the final week when training with a skilled and experienced Professional dancer.

For Couples

Whether it’s  your first time time dancing or you have been dancing for years, I can help show how your partnership can to shine on the dance floor.  We will work together to master the intricacies of ballroom to give your partnership confidence with every dance.

Private lessons are not limited to one couple!  Semi-privates are available as well to share between a maximum of 4 people.

  • I was paired with David for a charity fundraiser, Richmond Dancing with the Stars in March. David taught me our winning cha cha dance routine over a six week period. Since our win I have continued to take lessons with David. He is a kind, understanding and patient teacher. He is able to explain the dance steps clearly while allowing you to learn at your own pace. He knows when it is time to push you a little past your comfort zone to the next level. I highly recommend David as a dance instructor.

  • My fiancé and I took 8 group lessons with David this spring and he was fantastic! We are both quite uncoordinated and I left self conscious with my dancing abilities. David’s is a extremely patient, knowledgeable, helpful and easy going teacher who makes dancing fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone and we hope to take some more private lessons with him soon. Thank you David!

  • I met David about 8 years ago I was taking group classes at the time, learning International Style Ballroom Dance. I was hooked. I have had the wonderful opportunity to watch David at various Ballroom Competitions competing and have also seen him perform with an Adult Dance Performance Team for many years. David is a joy to watch dance, very strong but calm and moves with ease.

  • David is extremely patient with his teaching in private lesson instruction and very knowledgeable. He has had many years of experience and is always upgrading his own skill to become the very best that he can be which I really admire in an instructor. David always makes the lessons fun and explains things in different ways so you can truly understand. Thank you David for helping me grow and be the best that I can be with my own personal journey in dance.

  • I took the beginner ballroom dancing lessons with David in North Vancouver, the classes were awesome. I always felt I was missing something in the past when I danced. David has he ability to break down the steps and make them easy to understand. He also takes the time to make sure his students have the correct posture for all the dances.

    I would not hesitate to recommend David as an instructor for beginners or more experienced dancers.

  • Sonia and I have had the great pleasure of experiencing some group dance lessons for beginners with David instructing us. This is a very fun taste of a number of ballroom dances that we would recommend attending Davids classes to anyone. Great music with the huge added benefit of a physical, mental and emotional workout. We’ll be taking more lessons and I think we are going to have to invite our friends to join us.
    Thanks David

  • I began taking private lessons with David recently as I wanted to grow and learn more with my own dancing. The nice thing about taking private lessons is you really get one on one instruction and your own learning curve excels.

    Heather Dunn, Pro-Am Student
  • My husband and I are attending David’s beginner dance classes in the North Shore. It is our first time taking dance lessons and we are greatly enjoying them! David is a great teacher!!! He explains the dance steps clearly, several times, and offers tips on how to achieve proper posture and rhythm, on how to lead and follow, etc.  We’ve come a long way, very quickly. =)  We will continue attending David’s classes, and highly recommend anyone to give them a try, it’s lots of fun!

    Should I take private or group lessons?

    If you just want a basic introduction to ballroom dancing and want to do it socially with friends, a group class would be most appropriate for you. If you are more driven and detail-oriented with your approach to dancing, then private lessons would be more suitable…
