As an instructor, his keen sensitivity to body movement and connection, awareness of space and a playful sense of musicality make classes inspiring and filled with important tools for your dance. He works beautifully in close embrace with both simple and complex figures, and can shift seamlessly from close to open embrace and back again. Damian spent the last 2 years teaching and dancing in England, and is currently on tour in the US through December. He was partnering with Jennifer Olsen of Portland, OR in the beginning of the tour, and now continues to teach on his own. He has extensive knowledge of both close-embrace and milonguero style dance and is also on the cutting edge of the most "nuevo" tango movements.
