VISION STATEMENT
We strive to be recognised as the leading association in the country with regards to the development of dance and we aim to instil a passion and a love of dance in all its aspects in our members, their pupils and the public at large.
OUR MISSION
is to train and develop dancers and to transform them into confident entertainers and accomplished performers. We aim to instil in each dancer a sense of self-discipline, a competitive spirit, a desire to be physically healthy, a true appreciation of ability and talent and a determination to improve and to progress in a structured manner.
We aim to provide a sound education in an honourable environment where opportunity exists to select dance with its many facets as a possible career path.
In addition our goal is to provide an extra-mural activity which gives our youth a chance to develop their skills mentally, physically and emotionally in order to become not only better dancers but better human beings.
Membership to SABOD is open to all races, creeds and religions and we advocate transparency and non-discrimination in all our endeavours.

OUR LOVE FOR DANCE
DEVELOPMENT:
Sponsorships are awarded annually to development dancers to enable them to become teachers and/or judges. These are given to dancers who would otherwise not have been able to afford obtaining these skills.

Our youth forum gives the youth a say in all matters pertaining to our association. Dancers are involved in the election of a student chairperson and all matters pertaining to the ‘youth and dancing’ are discussed at youth meetings.
