| Dear Dance Enthusiasts! |
 The snow has begun melting and spring is on it's way! There are many opportunities for growth in your dancing or even just to keep it fresh this spring. Check out the St. Albert Community dance this Saturday with a special guest appearance by ... yours truly! Or keep the spring in your step with my upcoming Practice Session - and that's no joke! You can also brush up ith a couple of private sessions, for those too busy for groups this spring or simply wanting to keep dancing during the summer. There will also be the opportunity to dance and win some lessons from me in April at the Red Shoe Gala. How can dance make a difference in your life? Read the recent Testimonials in the side column and find out! And if you haven't already registered for the Spring - only a few spots remaining. For those of you already inquiring for fall classes with Sabrina's Dance Instruction - make sure you are on my newsletter list for pre-registration opportunities coming in August!
" I come to class,.. and the time we spend together, teaching and learning is guaranteed to take me to a level which is a better one than the one I walked in on." Peter McKay |

| Testimonials | |
"I continue to experience you as a most excellent dance instructor. Clear instruction in a variety of ways, breaking down the visual into digestive bites, having an intuitive sense of the pulse of the class."
Catherine Toole (business owner)
(Major learning experiences?)
"Leading isn't dragging your partner around the floor, but guiding them"
Megan Rennie & Will Richardson
"We are enjoying this class so much and are fondly referring to Fridays as our "date night". It is great to have this time as a couple (we've been married for 28 years) and love your humor and understanding of insecurities as new dancers." Wes & Jenny Cupido (business owners)
(Major learning experiences?) "That someone who, for more than half a lifetime, believed he had no rhythm or ability to move to music, has been shown through Sabrina's ability and diligence that this is not the case." Peter McKay (goldsmith) (Reason started dancing...?) "It started as a joke (talking wise). We decided to look into it ended up sounding fun, turns out it is! Alex Stanley (online store manager)
"In your teaching you are always emphasizing the importance of the "relationship" and this has allowed us to schedule time for ourselves. We always enjoy your classes. We're challenged to learn and improve and through your teaching methods we continue to add to what we know and practice what we already had." Nicole Stevens (Enjoy most...?) "The positive learning atmosphere. Constructive criticism delivered with a smile is a fantastic method of fostering improvement." Megan Inglis
"What a great experience, to "hang out" as a couple for a social evening. Instruction was simple, easy to follow and with a humorous twist! Much unlike those "hoity toity" dance classes I have taken before." Doreen & Andrew Slessor

| FAQ | |
How long will it take me to learn to dance?
Everyone is different in how they learn and their expectation of what it is to "know" how to dance. Some take a few lessons, others train for years. Pick a dance or dances and set yourself a goal and I'll help you get there. I've been dancing all my life and I'm still learning! |
