At this time she is teaching at the University of Minnesota and at the Social Dance Studio in Minneapolis. Sabine believes that while we are on the social dance floor the object is to have fun with the dance, and that you can have fun in exploring the opportunities of movement with a partner and look darn good doing so at the same time!

The Classes that she teaches are well balanced, inventive and fun. She is very keen on the fact that the student has to feel comfortable while dancing.  A relaxed body and mind will create a comfortable connection, so the partner feels a sense of being safe. Sabine is an enthusiast of  Nuevo (new) Tango , organic moves within tango while reflecting on the more traditional roots of Argentine Tango.  This means that she focuses on a fusion of close and open embrace tango.
