If you are looking for a place in the south west London area to learn salsa and bachata and at the same time meet friendly and sociable people I would highly recommend Incognito dance c— Abdul Bah

I have got just great experience with this dance school and their parties. Not just the teachers but also all the people attending their classes and parties are very polite, enthusiastic and passionate about dancing! It's always much pleasure to cooperate with them. My last workshop of salsa styling for ladies with Ninela pushed me further and gave me the right hint for my progress which I needed. Everything was well explained, with a nice and tolerant attitude of the teacher, she was happy to answer all our curious questions with her soft kind humour. I fully recommend this dance school!— Alenka Cejkova

the dance courses in Wimbledon are normally structured in 2/3 levels. I believe that it's one of the best places to learn the fundamental (beginners course) and learn such linking moves (improvers/advances level)…as each dance courses the dance teachers express their passion the way how to learn, indeed every dance teachers has its proper personality and effort. Differently from Wednesday and Friday dance courses, you have the opportunity to learn with no too many students and it could be the better place to learn with time and in a cozy place.— Manuela Caracciolo

I have been dancing with Jeff and the Incognito team for almost a year now.

I signed up to his 12 week performers course and can say it was the best thing I have done in 2022.

I liked it so much I signed up to his Bachata course. It is more than just classes, they are a family, and I am glad to have a new Latin family 😀

Come along and you might never stop dancing 🕺— Nathan Bell

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is very learnable once you get comfortable with the basic timing, and most people pick up the core step within a lesson or two. Progress comes from regular practice rather than natural talent, so steady attendance matters more than anything.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Absolutely, and most people who walk into a beginners course have never danced before. The classes are built to take you from nothing to your first moves at a manageable pace.

What is the best Latin dance for beginners?

Salsa and bachata are both popular starting points, with bachata often feeling a little simpler in its footwork. Trying a beginners session in each is the easiest way to see which suits you.

Is Latin dance good for beginners?

Yes, Latin dance is a rewarding entry into dancing because the beginner steps are accessible and the social scene is welcoming. It also gives you a solid rhythmic foundation you can carry into other styles.

How long before a wedding should you take dance lessons?

Many couples begin two to three months ahead so there is time to learn and rehearse without rushing. For details on wedding dance lessons and timings it is best to contact the school directly.

How many dances do couples do at a wedding?

Most couples prepare a single first dance, though some add a second, more upbeat number for the reception. The team can help you shape whatever suits your day.
