Join Sazon Dance Company: Where passion meets practice and dancers thrive in their journey to mastery. It's more than a dance company; it's a community fostering hard work, dedication, and continuous improvement, empowering every dancer to reach their full potential.

We focus on competition, recognizing its role in enhancing our dancing, technique, expressions, cleanliness, and clarity of moves, ultimately making us better dancers overall and yes, we also helps us grow as social dancers.

However, amidst our commitment to growth, we never forget the joy that dancing brings us. We aim to elevate our passion while maintaining enjoyment in what we do, driven by a commitment that pushes us to grow—for our team, for our partners, but most importantly, for ourselves.

Never competed before? Give it a shot! You'll understand what we are talking about.
Already a competitor? Let us help you reach your goals! Be with a team that shares your same goals!

We will host Auditions. In case somebody cannot attend, they can submit a video based on our requirements. But priority will be given to those who attend in person. Based on the audition, if selected, we will determine which team is the best fit for you. We will make the best decision regarding your partners, positions, and transitions to ensure optimal performance and growth for everyone involved.

Our first trip Out of Town competition will be: March 27-30th: Calgary 
But we will have other out-of-town opportunities that we will let you know about.

To ensure you have the best experience during practice, please bring the following items:

- Resistance Bands ONLY LONG These are essential for warming up and strength training. See an example HERE.

- Yoga Blocks (also known as yoga cubes) are great for stability and support during exercises. Check out an example HERE.

- Heels for Followers and Practice Shoes for Leads are essential for every practice. Make sure to bring the appropriate footwear to enhance your training! See examples HERE and HERE.

- Split Sole Shoes are recommended for training. While Fuego shoes are great, any type of split sole shoes, including jazz shoes or ballet shoes, will work well. See examples HERE and HERE.

- Knee Pads are important for protecting your knees during practices, especially with floor work. Please bring them to every session. See an example HERE.

- Jump Rope is a fantastic tool for improving cardiovascular fitness and coordination. It's a great addition to your warm-up routine. See an example HERE.


Having these items will help enhance your training and keep you comfortable while you dance!

However, please note that your monthly fee will still be billed. In the event of planned absences, we will request a video of your practice during your trip to ensure continuity, and we'll provide feedback accordingly.
