Sabina - Dance Instructor


I am from somewhere far less exotic...Coventry(!), UK. I trained in music (jazz piano) at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, and as part of my studies went on an exchange trip to Havana, Cuba, to study Cuban music. It was there that I discovered my love for dancing Cuban Salsa. I'd tried American Salsa styles before I left for Havana but the Salsa they were dancing in Havana to me was more exciting - it had a different energy to it. It made me desperate to learn how to do it! So I spent as much time as I could while in Cuba training in dance and continued on arriving back in the UK. Before long people were asking me to teach and perform with them.

I believe that everyone can improve their dancing with practice, and am a patient and encouraging teacher. In my teaching I draw upon 3 years' experience teaching music, and also on my Master's degree in Psychology of Education, from which I understand how to help people learn a motor skill (e.g. dance!) and develop confidence on the dancefloor.
