David’s journey with Brazilian ZOUK is rooted in a deep desire to explore and share the dance as a space for connection, presence, and energy flow. With a background as a DJ in Europe’s club scene and over a decade of experience on the dance floor, he brings both musicality and emotional nuance into every movement.

In his classes, you don’t just learn steps. You learn to listen with your body. To feel, offer your weight, your presence, your energy and to meet another without losing your own center. He believes that dance, at its core, is a way of meeting ourselves through the shared experience with another.

In 2011, David founded ZOUK Malmö with the vision of helping people discover the transformative feeling that ZOUK can awaken. Drawing inspiration from modern dance and contact improvisation, he developed a teaching approach where ZOUK technique enhances expression, not just in ZOUK but also in salsa and bachata.
