Dawn
Instructor dancehall en DTD dancer
Dawn (stage name Sabrina) from the beautiful Caribbean Island of St. Kitts now living in Rotterdam - Holland, fell in love with dancing at the age of 9, just by looking at the dances in video clips of artist like Janet/ Michael Jackson, MC Hammer and so on. At the age of 12 (1990) she won a Latin dance contest and performed with the merengue band Las Chicas Del Can. Coming from the Caribbean, dancehall was always apart her culture but it was something about “dancehall dancing”. She wanted to share the beauty and unique way of moving the body that no other dance style she did at that time had. So she dedicated her life on being dancehall.
She got her first big break performing as a background dancer for the Jamaican artist Sasha (better known from her hit with Sean Paul - am still in love). After that performance she started to perform at all the popular venues in Holland , Spain, Belgium and Germany as the years past she got the opportunity to work with various Jamaican dancehall artist and dancers like: The first ever dancehall queen Carleen, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Elephant Man, Patra,Sasha(JA), General Levi (uk) King Lover and Mega D of RMXCRW (nl) to name a few.
