Human Factors
We were doing flight training on ground reference maneuvers 8 to 9 NM northwest of DKB. There was traffic 3 to 4 NM southwest of our position and the traffic was 1000 ft plus above and maneuvering west and east bound. When we came back from a westbound left turn to northbound I noticed on my ForeFlight that traffic was to our east very very close to us and at about same altitude. Since most of my view was blocked by the right wing; I decided to descend and dodge to the northwest; and [at] about [the] same moment I saw the Cessna at my 2 o'clock on westbound and slightly higher above us. A second or two later the Cessna saw us and started a right climb turn.
Cessna Flight Instructor reported an NMAC with another light aircraft in the vicinity of DKB airport.
