About Me

David with new arrival Samba

Swimmers take your mark…. BANG! As a six year old, that was music to my ears. Flying through the water with the moves of a dolphin was magical. Swimming shaped my childhood, as did the weekly dance parties at the home of my best friend, Jose’ de Peralta. The Cuban rhythms were as intoxicating as his beautiful older sisters. Serving as captain of my high school team led to a swimming career at the University of Delaware where I discovered yet another form of flight – DANCE. The magic first discovered at the home of my childhood friend resurfaced and I minored in dance while preparing for a law career.

For the next twenty years the disciplines intertwined – trial attorney by day, swimming for the Philly FINS and choreographing for the Phila Repertory Theater Company by night. Sport & dance – the perfect pairing.

To me, Zumba is just like that -
the perfect pairing of fitness and dance.

Hypnotic Latin and international rhythms merge with simple steps forming a fitness party like no other! So I converted the old barn on my Bucks County sheep farm bed & breakfast into a spacious, light-filled studio where I instructed my classes for the first few years of my Zumba life.   Now, I’m off to Miami for the next leg of my Zumba adventure!    Stay tuned for my new class schedule – and THANKS to everyone who made my years at the farm the best of my life.
