“I appreciate that this was more than just a technique class. There was technique but more importantly, the relationship between the technique and the truth of the circumstance… [David was] very keen on the details of each exercise. Even when we were freestyling, he had the ability to point out specific feedback, which easily opened up our imagination.”
