For The Love & Passion of Dance

I believe ballroom dance connects people together in a way no other social activity can. Through artistry, through passion, and through love. Ballroom for me has become a way of life. On and off the floor it has given me many opportunities to experience and achieve goals I wouldn’t have thought possible. Being part of a community that has brought me so many friends and so much love over the years, I want to share these experiences with you.

My Story

For two years my brother bugged me to start ballroom until I finally gave in and joined a youth class in 1999. Before long, I found myself involved in local competitions, and many community events from putting on demonstrations to being a guest teacher at my own high school…

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.

Don Thokle, Group Class Student
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.

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!

Amanda June, Group Class Student
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
Our first dance was a resounding success. Thank you David Marasigan for the amazing choreography and lessons. You helped make our wedding an even more amazing day/night.

Philosophy

I’m all about community and connection. It’s not about memorising steps and just making them work. It’s about the conversation of two bodies in harmony with the music. The way I teach and dance comes from my passion to express emotion though what I love.
