ABOUT OMAR & JOHANNA

DANCE TEACHERS & EVENT ORGANISERS

Hi! We are Omar & Johanna 👋🤗
We are super passionate dancers and teachers, sharing our love for Afro-Latin social dancing in Helsinki since 2011. 🕺💃

We’ve had the chance to teach salsa, bachata and kizomba to thousands of students, organise 1 000+ dance parties and events, and create international dance festivals.

We love seeing how dance connects people, brings joy, energy and confidence, and simply makes people feel good. Dance can be really life-changing, mentally, physically and socially.

We’ve both been dancing since we were kids and have been teaching together for over 15 years. Through that, we’ve built the experience and tool box to help you get started in the best possible way, whether you’re joining your very first dance course, bootcamp, or are taking a private lesson.

If you want to try something new in Helsinki, we genuinely believe dance is the best decision you can make. No dance background needed. No partner required. Just show up, and we’ll take care of the rest. Welcome to dance with us 💃🕺
