Sabrina has been so connected to the instruction that I need… coming from very little dance background at all. I felt comfortable from day one with her. It’s been a lot of fun taking my time with he basics, and now I’m finally starting to see how I can put it all together into more exciting dance. Coming into my lessons, my primary goal was to get more in my body and comfortable with dance movements in general. Sabrina has been so patient and giving just the right amount of guidance in getting me there!

Sabrina is a gem in the local dance community. I’m so happy that I chose her for my first zouk teacher. A local recommended her, and after our first lesson I could see why. She is extremely talented and understands the technical aspects at a deep level. She gave me complete attention and met me where I came in as a beginner. She made what could have been, an intimidating process, an easy one. She made me feel comfortable. On top of everything she is a super sweet human. I’m still learning from her. I make sure to attend her workshops and classes whenever I have the opportunity. I’m super grateful she is a part of my dance journey, and if you’re looking to improve your confidence and skills in Zouk, don’t hesitate for a moment to reach out to her!

Sabrina is very clear and organized and passionate about her material, so you really get your moneys worth for any time that you spend learning from her. Not only is she extremely talented, but she knows how to explain the dance moves clearly for any level in any style she teaches.

Working with Sabrina through the foundational concepts of Zouk dancing really helped to grind those core techniques into my muscle memory. I felt much more confident in my dance after completing her progressive series. She was engaged with the students both in and out of class, and was friendly and supportive throughout the entire course. She even made me a custom t-shirt!

Sabrina is an excellent instructor who focuses on creating a strong foundation with her technical expertise. I’ve loved her emphasis on safety and self-expression (from the very beginning) along with her ability to break down concepts into easily understandable movements. It’s made picking up technique a much smoother and efficient process. I highly recommend learning from her if you’re able to!

Sabrina is a really fun person who is passionate about both dancing and teaching. She knows how to balance honest feedback with genuine praise, so I always feel confident even when I’m making mistakes. Your lessons and pace are tailored so that you can learn however works best for you, and bonus points for teaching me fun facts and history about dance. I can’t recommend her enough!

Sabrina has been an integral part of my zouk journey. She helped me with my basics and continues to share her wealth of knowledge about dance, movement, safety, and community building. Her passion for dance really shows in the care and attention to detail she puts into her lessons and events. Much respect for her as a person and teacher. Highly recommend!!

Sabrina is a work of art, who creates art, and helps nurture others to creating their own. She meets you exactly where you’re at- no skipping ahead nor babying- and creates an attainable plan to get you to where you need to be. I love her humor and positivity, makes the difficult work way more enjoyable!
John J.
Sabrina is great at getting people to dance, helping them get comfortable dancing, and helping them to dance well together. I started with poor rhythm and balance. If Sabrina can help me be a good dancer then she can help you too.

Some of the best dance instructors in Austin. More than simply teaching to dance they help foster community and continue to grow help Zouk and more generally dance grow in Austin. I hope they continue to find success in this and all other endeavors.
