As "The Unlikely Salsero", private/group salsa instructor, dancer and lifelong musician, Don specializes in teaching dancers how to hear the time in the music, understand music structure, and relate the music directly to their dancing. Partner dancing is so much more fun when the couple both dance to the music! Dance Salsa "On 1," "On 2" or "On Clave," but be sure you know the music well enough to know that you know!
Don learned to dance as an adult in my 40's and his primary instruction started with Edie the Salsa Freak among many other instructors over the years. Don's literally performed on stage as a drummer thousands of times and coaches others on performance dancing techniques and musicality.
A lifelong student of learning/teaching, he's been teaching privately since around age 18; beginning with drums/music, then computers/software in the 90's, and now salsa, musicality and timing for dancers.
Don is well know as a "master instructor" and "instructors instructor", coaching other instructors in the art and science of teaching, accelerated learning and class management techniques.
Don grew up in Detroit and moved to LA at age 21 to study with some of the world's best studio musicians. He graduated from Percussion Institute of Technology (AKA "PIT") in 1982.
Starting my dance life later than most, he's living proof that if someone like him can learn to dance, you'll be even better.
