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.

For The Love & Passion of Dance

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
