David Huang
Born and raised in New York City, David didn’t start his venture into the Salsa world until seeing Asians who could really dance one night at a party with a live band in 2007. He was determined to learn and began studying Salsa at the Sandra Cameron Dance Center with Jose Rosario whom he credits for teaching him when he had two left feet and knew nothing. Having had a background in Jeet Kune Do for quite a few years before he started dancing, David was able to pick up dance patterns and musicality just as he did in martial arts training. He started getting serious about Salsa by going out every night and actually applying it out in the social world and by taking classes more than five times a week. He has also studied with Frankie Martinez and Melanie Torres.(more)
