OUR STORY
If friendship, community, passion and technique are important to you, then you will love learning to dance with Salsabor Dance Studio in Canberra. Since first offering classes in 2005 and then opening our first studio in 2010, we have grown to provide the widest range of dance styles in Canberra from Salsa, Brazilian Samba and Bachata through to Zouk and Burlesque.
With a vision to have everyone in Canberra dancing, the passion of our instructors and our open approach to teaching shines through in all of our classes and events.
As a beginner taking your first steps, we will have you dancing with confidence in any social setting and even performing, if that is what you desire. And as an experienced dancer, we will help you finesse your dancing with advanced styling techniques.
So if you want to dance with Sabor (flavour) and learn with a school that is passionate and leading the way in its teaching methods, we would love for you to join us.
SOME LOVE FROM OUR
COMMUNITY
“All the instructors were incredibly helpful and very friendly, they made the experience the best they could every single time and every time they delivered.” Salsa Level 1 Student
“It was great learning new step and starting to get into it enough to be able to go out and social dance. The Instructors made it really fun and entertaining, making any awkwardness dancing with strangers easy to laugh off.”
“The community you meet at Salsabor is great – the instructors, the class mates, the social events! 100% recommend just giving it a go. It’s made me see how much dancing is a way of life. No regrets.”
“Salsabor’s instructors are knowledgeable and seem to really care about creating a positive learning experience for their students.”
“Adam is particularly enthusiastic, his passion for the dance was infectious. Sarah adds poise, femininity and elegance. The lessons and new moves were well paced. It has a fun and light hearted feel, no one at the studio took themselves too seriously.”
“I’ve made some awesome friends from Canberra and around the world through dancing at Salsabor. The instructors are great, the classes and social dancing are fun, and my only complaint is that there is only so many classes I can attend a week.”
