Darkie is a powerful artist, who in dance has no limitations. His diverse and unique style allows his creative dance mind to think outside of the box. When Darkie hits the stage or the classroom floor you are not only guaranteed a show but an amazing experience. Whenever he choreographs a song he portrays the true character that’s given to him by feeling the music.
Steps of Praise, Culture Shock San Diego, and Urban FX have played a very important role in David “Darkie’s” journey through dance. He has toured the country hitting the stage with artist like Kirk Franklin, Tonex, CeeCee Winans, and Woody of Dru Hill, performing on award shows such as Grammy NAACP Awards, Essence, Soul Train and many more. Darkie is now teaching dance classes throughout San Diego California and currently choreographing for some of San Diego’s local artists like Ashley Robles, Krys justice, and Miz Mandy.
Darkie is a busy dancer who still manages to find enough time to run and direct his own island fusion group, The NeEra Crew, with his wife, Christiana Behnke-Simmons, and to co-direct “<ThaMOST” with Jonathan Sison.
Darkie loves being able to share his gift of dance with the world.
