Conny & Dado
Conny and Dado (Dado Ibrakovic and his partner Conny) are prominent Austrian-based international dance instructors, choreographers, and entrepreneurs who have spent over two decades transforming the world of partner dancing. They are best known as the founders of the Tanzschule Conny & Dado (based in Graz, Austria) and the globally accessible Social Dancing Academy. Rather than focusing purely on rigid, competitive ballroom techniques, they have built their careers around the joy, connection, and rhythm of everyday social dancing. Anti-"Dance Bot" Approach: They strongly advocate against memorizing mechanical, complex routines. Instead, they teach dancers to focus on natural body movement, leading/following flow, and genuine connection with their partner. Modular Learning: They break down complex dance genres into foundational "building blocks" (such as their signature 12 Salsa On1 Basic elements) so that anyone can learn to improvise freely on a crowded dance floor.
