Daniel will teach New Work: Process to Performance:
"This class will offer the opportunity to work in close collaboration with Daniel on the creation of a new work to be performed as part of the Choreographers’ Project Showcase. Workshop dancers will be an integral part of a creative process, developing their own material and participating in Charon’s rich choreographic invention. Charon will be both director and choreographer as the creative process unfolds, utilizing the individual talents of the Summer Stages dancers. The new work will challenge the performer's technical abilities and offer a range of expression from large full-bodied movement to subtle gestures with the intention of widening the theatrical and kinesthetic imaginations of the participating artists."

Daniel has taught regularly since 1996 at venues including the Limón Institute, Dance New Amsterdam, the 92nd Street Y, Peridance Center, the Metropolitan Opera, the Bates Dance Festival, and the Dance Complex in Boston, MA. As well as at numerous universities and festivals around the country. He is currently and adjunt faculty member at Hunter College in NYC.
Daniel's technique class strives to help a dancer achieve their individual goals by working towards a strong technical foundation, artistry in movement, and dancing from a neutral, relaxed body. Fundamental elements such as suspension, release, opposition and focus are isolated in individual exercises and then utilized in movement phrases to help achieve these goals. A strong relationship to plie, space, and a weighty pelvis will also be emphasized and explored. Daniel encourages the dancer to cultivate individual expression within the confines of set material in an effort to develop a unique dancing voice.
