Zabor is a teaching method based on the integration of multiple perspectives of partner dance instruction which we consider to be equally important to the proper development and formation of a great dancer. We place just as much emphasis on understanding the history, musicality, and cultural value of each dance as we do on the technique of movement.

What began in 2000 as a personal project has solidified into a comprehensive method of teaching, that has become the foundation of what is now recognized as Zabor Dance. The name Zabor is a combination of three important facets that define our philosophy. These are based on two Spanish words, “saber” (to know) and “sabor” (flavor), and the English word “zest”.

Zabor represents the knowledge of connection, the flavor of music, and the zest for sharing a moment.
