The first thing that got my attention about iDance was that it was in English...There are a lot of…read moresalsa lessons around Stockholm but to my knowledge they are all in Swedish unless you ask if they will do it in English on a class by class basis. Not that it's impossible to figure out what's going on in the context of dancing, but it does add an added layer of processing if it's not your native language (and you're not very good to begin with [at Salsa OR Swedish]). But the thing that sold me was absolutely Andreas' personality and teaching style. I first took a lesson during one of the free drop-in weeks for bachata which happens a few times during the year and really enjoyed the class. It was A) fun! B) funny! (different words Swedes ;). Andreas has an awesome teaching style that really takes the stress out of dancing and makes it easy to laugh at yourself, which is essential if you are like me and hate being bad at things. He's also a pretty funny guy leading the class. The other great thing about this school is how many different locations it is taught in! North Stockholm, Central Stockholm, Söder -- there are classes everywhere, and at all sorts of hours! They also seem to remember what it's like to be a beginner. The most defeating part for me with other schools has been taking a lesson and then trying to practice in the socials with the regulars. Of course some people are helpful and most are understanding but it's not necessarily the best situation to learn when you're starting and for me it stopped being fun at that point. iDance has come up with the idea of holding practice sessions for the students in the beginners courses with slow tempo songs and cheap entrance. Awesome idea. Pretty clear they really want you to have the opportunity to succeed. It's a big group of people, so if you're expecting individual attention that's not really how this style of teaching works. It's all about follow the leader and figuring things out with your classmates. I'm not in any position to judge the technical aspects of his teaching style or whether what I'm learning follows this or that style of Salsa. Every time I go to the weekly class I smile and laugh and so does everyone else. That's 5 stars in my book. Recommended!

The studio founder and owner, Sabriye Tekbilek, is one of the most personal, involved teachers I…read morehave ever had in my years of dancing. She really gets to know her students, recognizes all their little quirks, and helps each and every one to develop. She's a native English speaker (but also fluent in Swedish), which is great for international students. The atmosphere is always positive and supportive but she also will give you a challenge! This school is more technique focused than many of the bellydance schools in Stockholm, and many of the classes consist primarily of drilling - the best way to build strength and make you a better dancer from the ground up. You will sweat! But there are also great dances in the choreography class. The bellydance technique is Suhaila Salimpour format, based on a famous school in California, and it is the first and currently only certified Salimpour school in Europe. Danskollektivet also has very popular classes in dancehall, afro house, ATS, and tribal fusion. Students can choose to participate in a show at the end of the semester if they want to.

Having a bridal shower soon? You don't know what fun activity to do? Guess what I did this…read moreSaturday. A friend of mine had her bridal shower and her best friend organized a pole dance session here. Obviously, we didn't have a clue until we arrived at this place and saw pictures hanging on the wall of these talent pole dancers. First thing was first, we got to choose what our friend or "bride to be" had to wear for the session and the studio here had a bag full of kinky dresses haha. She ended up being some kind of officer, of course in latex :) Then we got ready in the changing room - and that changing room had everything from hairsprays, deodorant, make up removers, straightener, hair dryer etc and of course shower. Everything you really needed once you finish your pole dance session and get ready for an evening out. Our instructor was a guy, but no problem he was very nice and he was sooo good!!! I mean, he moved around the pole more sexy than I ever could do. At the end of our sessions we were all able to perform a whole choreography! It was so much fun! I am not sure if I would have done it on my own but with a group it's so much more fun. But be aware, you might have muscle ache the next day from all the moving around and holding to the pole.

The centrally-located studio has skylights and is light and airy, and the school also has a little shop with dance items and costumes, as well as a shower on-site so you can freshen up after class. Each semester there are big student shows held, which are professionally filmed. There is also a hafla each semester - a smaller show where anyone who wants to gets the chance to perform. Students here can expect to learn technique and fun, beautiful choreography from highly-skilled, award-winning teachers, which students then get to perform at an exciting show. For the truly devoted there are also advanced student show-groups, where you will receive personal coaching and get additional opportunities to perform.
