David
Mendoza can't remember a time when
he wasn't dancing. He started with
Rancheras and other social and folk
dances of his native El Paso, Texas.
He learned plenty of performing skills
in various drill teams in ROTC and
the U.S. Navy, where he also boxed
(against the Marines, no less!). David
has also run marathons and is a student
of Pilates.
Upon moving to California, he became
infatuated with Salsa in the early
90's and was a fixture at the hottest
Salsa clubs. He has been dancing Argentine
Tango since 1994, studying with a
long list of greatest Tango maestros
(click on "Influences" button
for more information). He was a dancer
with Pampa Cortes' "Los Tangueros
de San Francisco". David has
a reputation for being a generous
and easy-to-follow leader - one who
can make any lady enjoy her three
minutes on the dance floor. David
is also a renown Tango disc jockey,
playing music for the Belmont Milonga,
the Peninsula Practica, Shall We Tango
dance studio and making guest appearances
at various milongas.
