After a brief hiatus to pursue a career in IT, David returned to Toronto in 2004 and reconnected with his passion for dance. Over the past 25 years, he has performed at events such as the Much Music Video Awards and the TD Jazz Festival. David believes in choosing dance styles that match the music you love, seeing dance as a form of authentic self-expression. His favorite quote, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain," reflects his approach to both life and dance.

This workshop is an introduction to one of today’s most well-known ballroom categories, performance, the dance form also known as Vogue. Vogue is a stylized freestyle dance born from the New York underground ballroom scene, a by-for community founded by Black and Latinx LGBTQI+ people. It is a camp style of dance that presents gender as a performance where dancers embody the spirit of extravagance in a way that is purposefully exaggerated and artificial. From applying makeup/"beating the face", to styling hair, donning extravagant clothing, and throwing shade through physical movement, not only does Vogue transform into a physical and emotional way to express stories and fantasies but it becomes a tool in learning to embody ones best self. During our workshop, we will be discussing the history, playing with poses, and the elements of Vogue.
