Not only a master dancer of extremely clean footwork, but also an excellent teacher who has inspired many.
Damian is no stranger to many of Texas’ Tango dancers since he has taught extensively across Texas. In 2010, Damian accepted the invitation of the Philadelphia Argentine Tango School in Philadelphia PA to join them as their Program Director and master teacher (http://philadelphiatangoschool.com/damian.html), but he has never forgotten us and returns every year to help us improve our Tango. At the same time, he continues to teach and inspire Tango dancers of all levels and still travels within the US and all over the world to do so. His dance is characterized by fluidity, great musical artistry, lyrical footwork, and impeccable skills. His teaching is precise, to the point, and efficient. In group classes he not only shows how the steps work but also how they work with you individually. In private lessons, he pinpoints a few essential improvements you can make and helps you get them right on the spot. He is admired for not only being a master dancer who has performed internationally but an excellent teacher who has taught for over 10 years and acquired many faithful students. If you want to improve your dancing and become a more popular social dancer than you already are, do not miss this opportunity to learn from the master!
