About
David.
I know what it feels like to want to dance—and still feel terrified to step onto the floor.That is why Dance House Calls begins with patience, privacy, and the belief that confidence is something you can learn.Book a lesson Social dances
Lessons are grounded in the real experience of dancing with many people, songs, and styles.
Competes
Competition keeps timing, connection, musicality, and adaptability under honest pressure.
When I was younger, you could not have dragged me onto a dance floor. It felt like one of the most intimidating things I could imagine—and, at the same time, like something that could be incredibly fun if I could get past the fear.
Learning to dance became a way to face that fear head-on. It gave me confidence, a creative outlet, a welcoming community, and a reason to be more present with other people. It taught me how to walk into a room, hold my own presence, listen, respond, and express myself through music. It's also how I met my spouse—proof that dance can open doors you don't expect, even when that is not why you start.
That journey is the reason I care about the true beginner. You do not need to arrive coordinated, outgoing, or fearless. You need a place where trying does not feel like performing for a room.
My job is to meet you where you are—and help dancing become something you look forward to.
HOW I TEACH
Useful on a real floor.
Personal to your dancing.
I can begin with the first step or help an experienced dancer work deeper into technique, musicality, connection, and style.Connection over choreography
The main focus is improvised partner dancing—learning how to respond to another person and the music in the moment.
Individual feedback
Private lessons move quickly because every explanation, adjustment, and repetition is based on what your body is doing.
Music you care about
Country and West Coast Swing can live in country, hip-hop, blues, pop, and more. The music should make you want to move.
A path beyond the lesson
Consistent practice and social dancing turn private instruction into confidence you can carry onto any floor.
