Artist-in-Residence
Biography
David Mayorga, born and raised in Miami, FL, started dancing in high school and began his formal training at New Image Dance Center, now called Miami Dance Project under the direction of Barbara Delgado. His intense study of ballet, modern, and jazz earned him admission into the New World School of the Arts, an extension of the University of Florida. While he focused most of his college studies in ballet and modern dance, David began his professional career in commercial dance around the same time when Emmy-nominated choreographer Glenn Douglas Packard took David under his wing as his assistant choreographer. He has performed in television, film, music videos, a world tour and has also choreographed a few mainstream projects. In spite of his commercial dance career, David has also focused on bringing awareness to the healing power of dance, specifically through improvisational movement. He has also found a passion through character work which he utilizes in much of his choreographic work. Aside from still pursuing dance in different avenues, David also enjoys teaching. David currently works as a dance educator at Millennium Dance Complex Las Vegas; a movement artist for the dance collective titled Dani Maloney Dance Collective; dancer at On The Record, a hip hop speakeasy; while also still freelancing as a dance educator, choreographer and movement artist under the representation of Go 2 Talent Agency. David hopes to bridge dance, performance art and therapy together to create a different breed of authentic expression to the Las Vegas entertainment scene.
