iDance Studio Söder - Dansskola

iDance runs two dance studios in central Stockholm: Studio Söder on Tjurbergsgatan 27 (near Skanstull metro) and Studio Valhalla on Valhallavägen 55 (ten meters from Tekniska högskolan metro station). Both locations are easy to reach by public transport and have nearby parking.

The studio teaches salsa, bachata, kizomba and related Latin American and African dances. Class styles include Crossbody Salsa, Cuban Salsa (also called Salsa Cubana), Sensual Bachata, Bachata Fusion, Urban Kiz, Zouk, Bachazouk and Reggaeton. Courses run for seven weeks and are divided by difficulty level, from beginner through continuation. You can take multiple courses at the same level since content varies. The studio also runs iDance on Sundays (a social dance event) and Bachata Night Stockholm.

Teachers repeatedly mentioned in student reviews include Lisette, Andreas, David, Josefine, Leo, Ingrid, Brandon Murcia and Omayda. Reviews consistently praise the instructors' focus on technique and musicality, their pedagogical approach, and the inclusive, welcoming atmosphere they create. One student noted that iDance instructors focus on "learning the fundamentals" and technique rather than choreography, which allows students to apply moves in social dance settings. Several reviews mention the warm community and the care teachers show for individual student progress.

The Söder studio is approximately 150 m² total, with a dance floor of about 100 m². Both studios have mirrors on three walls, ballet barres on three walls, and sound systems with cable connection and mixer. The Söder location has changing facilities (a large bathroom with shower), two toilets (one wheelchair accessible), a reception area with seating, and a TV. No changing rooms are mentioned; most students come in dance clothes.

Free trial classes and open house sessions are offered seasonally. Drop-in classes are available separately before social dance events, but not during regular 7-week courses. The studio does not allow outdoor shoes on the dance floor. You do not need a dance partner to join courses; the studio rotates partners during classes, though you can dance with the same partner if you prefer. Students come from diverse backgrounds and many are new to Stockholm.

Your first visit typically includes a warm, inclusive welcome. Classes focus on technique and musicality in a structured, pedagogical environment. You'll rotate partners during the course unless you prefer to stay with one. No dance experience or partner is required.

The studio features multiple experienced instructors. Lisette, Andreas, David, Josefine, Leo, Ingrid, Brandon Murcia and Omayda are named in reviews. Teachers are widely praised for combining strong technique with clear, patient pedagogy and creating an inclusive, supportive class atmosphere.

Strongly beginner-friendly; the studio emphasizes that you need no previous experience or partner, and teachers focus on building confidence and technique from the ground up.
