| My name is David, and I've been trying to dance since 1984.
I've done lots of styles - Ballroom & Latin, West Coast Swing, East Coast Swing, Hustle, Salsa, European Rock'n'Roll, etc. My first Ceroc class was at Pineapple Studios in London in 1986.
I have absolutely no natural talent for dancing. Everything I do I've picked up from taking lots of classes and lessons over these years. Although most of it went in one ear and out the other, I have a rough idea of what I'm supposed to do. But I have real problems putting the theory into practice! I still look like a rugby player trying to dance. The one thing I can do well is to take the credit for the lady doing the hard work.
I try to make sure I dance at least once a week. I go to several venues in London (Casbah, Hipsters, Ashtons) and try to travel a bit more at weekends (eg Fleet, Brighton, Oxford, Uxbridge, Dorking.)
