What dancers say

  • Bravo bravo! Now THIS is a salsa school. I’m a salsa dancer from NYC and came down to Tampa with the purpose of an intensive week at Iroko. Words cannot explain how much I learned. Nachito is an excellent instructor for Afro Cuban privates. Denisse is an absolute sweet heart and extremely humble. I’ve never met a TOP salsa instructor who is so genuine and truly wants the best for her dancers. Fan of Denisse forever! Liz is the nicest lady ever at the front desk, she made sure my trip to Tampa was 100% worth it and even gave me food recs. I understand their level placement ideology isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it is the right way. I love iroko! Thank you so much for the best training week ever ❤️

  • Teachers are nice people, super talented dancers, but priority is performance, and not a place to learn social dancing. Different instructors nearly every class with poor continuity of content, go through 2 months of beginner salsa or bachata spending more than half of class times on warm-ups and solo footwork, and end up without a basic set of practiced go-to partner patterns to enjoy a social dance (inexcusable if goal is to get social dancers having fun, which can be done in two months of class time with the right approach). definitely go there if you are an intermediate or advanced dancer who will devote the time and practice to seriously up your game.

  • I moved from Connecticut not too long ago & I decided to join Iroko Dance Academy just looking for a fun hobby, and what I got in return was so much more! From Nachitos captivating energy in beginner class to Scott’s firm yet motivating instruction during privates to Yoselyn’s empowering ladies styling bootcamp, I’ve gained confidence, skills, and even the courage to perform — something I never imagined for myself. While I may not be the “best” dancer, the growth I’ve experienced both on and off the dance floor has been truly life-changing. Joining Yoselyn’s ladies styling bootcamp was one of the best decisions I’ve made this past year. The environment is supportive and empowering, and the standards are high in the best way possible. There’s a strong emphasis on progress, confidence, and creating a safe space to learn and grow. What truly sets Iroko apart is the sense of community — something I never realized I was missing. Dancing alongside such inspiring, driven, and supportive women has been an absolute gift. We’ve created something so beautiful, full of joy, laughter, and genuine connection, and it’s something I’ll forever be grateful for. I’m Always looking forward to Saturday with my girls now!! 💗 Cynthia and Cassie have given me little gems of advice when it comes to preparing to perform which has been beneficial in relieving performance anxiety. I can go on and on about how amazing this place is but Iam truly grateful I found them! Ernesto and Denise genuinely create such a friendly & welcoming environment for dancers of all levels — from the moment you walk in especially with Liz greeting you at the door, you truly feel supported and encouraged! I can’t wait to continue my dance journey & see what’s next!
