The college that hosts my classes has asked for an updated Bio, and since it has been a while, and the various changes in the Website's format seem to have made the Profile somewhat more complicated to access, I offer it here this month.
Dan Zuckerman has been a student of T’ai Chi since 1976 and has been teaching since 1994. He was a senior student of Chow Chian Chiu and Chow Leung Chen-Ying (Mr. & Mrs. Chow), formerly of Coral Gables, and was one of very few students to receive teacher training from them.
He has a Bachelors degree from the University of Miami (1970) and a Master of Science degree from Florida International University (1999).
He has been teaching T’ai Chi at Miami Dade Community College, Kendall Campus, since 1994, and also offers private and small class lessons. He has taught classes for the Biltmore Hotel, the Coral Gables Congregational Church, and employee classes for the Miami Herald.
Daniel lives in Miami Florida with his wife, Susana Barciela. He also works in the mental health field and does neuropsychological testing. Hobbies include bird watching, amateur radio, and guitar.
He has taught Traditional Wu Style T’ai Chi to over 1,500 students.
Details, including specifics of the form taught, the various physical and meditative benefits, and video of the form taught, are available on this website.
Daniel makes his classes easy and accessible to all. He explains concepts, principles and practice in simple, easy to understand terms. He often uses examples that help one to more easily understand and learn.
Best Wishes to All for a Joyous and Healthy Holiday season and New Year!
