The Sabor Dance School is the “nerve
center” of the group and specializes
in offering high quality Latin dance
instruction.
Sabor has brought together some of Bermuda's best instructors,
performers and choreographers with an aim to, through the use of a carefully developed curriculum, produce strong, confident, competent and fun-loving dancers. Frequently Sabor dancers are invited to perform and offer instruction to people throughout Bermuda and
abroad.
Sabor has developed a warm embracing culture which is inclusive of everyone. Students are inspired towards enriching and rewarding self expression while developing their dancing skills. The school also offers comfortable dance apparel, which includes t-shirts and foot wear, and various performance and instructional DVDs.
The Sabor Dance School, located in the purpose-built dance studios at the Berkeley Cultural Center (the Old Berkeley Institute) , offers an expanding class schedule providing instruction in several Latin dances, including salsa, cha cha, merengue, bachata, rueda, Argentine tango and featured workshops. Classes are offered to students of all levels and provide a fun and exciting way to spend any afternoon or evening. You can relax and enjoy beautiful music and dance, taught by instructors who have a passion and a strong technical understanding for these Latin dance forms.
All classes have been designed to develop dancers of all levels. If you are unsure of which class you should
attend, one of our instructors will assist you with placement.
Registration & General Information
REGISTRATION FOR THE WINTER TERM WILL COMMENCE FRIDAY, JANUARY 1st, 2010
Two Ways To Register!
Online, or arrive at Sabor Dance School 15 mins before your scheduled class time to complete and submit your registration form. Registration for the first 7-week course of group classes closes on January 30th, 2010. Please email sabor@logic.bm if you wish to begin classes after this date.
Open classes As noted on the schedule, open classes are held Tuesdays only for Beginner 1 Salsa. This means that anyone can drop in and take a class at the drop-in rate of $18 per class. This is our most flexible option for students that have scheduling constraints or who may travel frequently.
Closed classes allow the opportunity for students to progress at the same time together as new students will
not be able to join these classes after the second week of each new course. Anyone wishing to join after this
period will be encouraged to take a private lesson to catch up (see below). All closed classes will run in 7-week cycles. After 7 weeks, you will be able to advance to the next level at your instructors’ discretion. These classes are a flat rate of $100 per course ($115 for Community Education Courses. See schedule.)
