What sets your group apart from the other local dance troupes: 
 
Our group is set apart  by a few distinct characteristics.  Sakara stays neutral in the salsa scene, with our commitment to the technical growth and development of our dancer's first, before teaching them a choreography and putting them on stage.  We base our foundation on the principles of dancing on2, New York style salsa, and were principal dancers of the the Seaon Stylist Dance Company - Choreographer:  Seaon "Stylist" Bristol, who was one of the former Eddie Torres dancers.  Not only did we learn Seaon's intricate styling and technique, we traveled around the world teaching and performing some of the most memorable salsa routines ever.  When the "Stylist" dissolved we continued to further evolve and push ourselves to do more with our salsa dancing.  As choreographers Sakara is well versed in other forms of dance (jazz, ballet, contemporary modern, various African forms, and funk) that we can effortlessly and continually challenge our bodies to do more than ever before.     

We have no allegiance to anyone but to ourselves.  Sakara will work, create choreography's for individuals, couples or teams, and collaborate with any and everyone when time, communication and organization are effortless.  Most importantly, as Directors we are blessed to have such a beautiful working relationship with each other, as it allows us to think cohesively as a unit.  Sakara promises to provide everyone with the love and quality of professionalism you deserve on all levels.    

We are looking forward to creating an environment of dancers that want to continually learn and strive to be their absolute best, with the ability to stay humble and remember that everyone started from the same place.  We are looking forward to enhancing the unity of dancers and artists that would like to work with each other and offer students a variety of knowledge in San Diego and its surrounding communities and schools.  We would like to pay tribute to our numerous friends around the world that consistently challenge us to be the best at our craft and as "stylist", and even some who like to officially challenge and battle us on the dance floor when we see them.  (You know who you are!  Leon Rose - LOL)  It was asked by Leon Rose (London Choreographer, Director, Performer and Instructor) a few years ago in the La Voz Magazine who were your favorite females to dance with in the world to which he responded (paraphrased) for "styling and body movements"  Lesley and Violeta from Los Angeles.
