Daniel has been teaching various body movement forms for over 17 years. "I used to teach Katas which are patterned forms from the martial arts. They're a dance against imaginary foes that early practitioners would use to memorize and teach others their specific defense moves." After finding an affinity for teaching and body movement, he discovered his true passion. "A friend of mine shared some complimentary dance lessons with me. Shortly thereafter I saw my first Ohio Star Ball on OPB and was instantly hooked. Ballroom Dancing! I knew that I wanted to move across the dance floor with such passion and finesse! Upon finding such an enjoyable activity that gave me so much happiness and pleasure, I had to share it with everyone." He shares his passion of dance by teaching Partner Dance, Swing, Ballroom, Latin, and Country Western for both group and private lessons at the Ankeny Street Studio.
