Tim und Irina erklären die Schritte und Technik verständlich, sie sind sehr hilfsbereit und geben gutes Feedback. Ich hatte viel Spass bei ihnen im Kurs!
16. April 2024, 23:12 Teachers: Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
I liked how Irina and Tim explained a lot of technique when introducing the figures so that the people who already understood the basics could pay attention to the details already!
16. April 2024, 11:26 Teachers: Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Irina and Tim were great teachers, very helpful and professional with explaining the new figures. Totally recommend Ballroom 3!

Amazing teachers! The dance course was really nice and dynamic. I recommend it :)
02. Nov. 2023, 19:44 Teachers: Vitaliya Bahdanava & Thilo Schmid, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
The teacher were highly technically skilled and explained the new figures very well. In comparison to other instructors, they focused more on the technique and less on introducing figures. I enjoyed the course a lot.

100% Recommended!

Great teaching !
12. Sept. 2023, 12:36 Teachers: Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
A steep learning curve from Ballroom 2 to Ballroom 3 through the addition of Quickstep and Viennese Waltz, but with the help of Irina and Tim it was manageable. Their patience and elaborate explanations helped immensly! Looking forward to their Ballroom 4 course :)

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

02. April 2025, 10:50 Ballroom 1 with Andrea Catellani & Daniel Sparber, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
I always enjoy courses with Daniel and Andrea because beyond a mere learning of complementary steps there is a focus on how leading and following works, which is very important especially in starter-friendly courses like Ballroom 1.
25. March 2025, 12:44 Ballroom 1 with Andrea Catellani & Daniel Sparber, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Das Lehrerpaar war topmotiviert und hat die Tanzschritte mit Witz + Style vorgezeigt. So hat es gleich noch mehr Spass gemacht in den Tanzstunden :). Insbesondere die Erklärungen zum Englischwalzer mit Flipchart war originell und hilfreich. Als Einführungskurs hat das ganze meiner Meinung nach super funktioniert. Anfangen bei absoluten Basics in Tanzhaltungen und Schritten um möglichst alle Teilnehmer mitzunehmen. Auch der Fokus darauf, dass sich absolut alle wohlfühlen (Stichwort Körperkontakt) fand ich super geregelt.

Great workshop, can only recommend!
09. Jan. 2025, 18:40 Slowfox Crash Course with Daniel Sparber & Christoph Hellings, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
They explained it very well so that it was straightforward to learn Slow fox.
26. Nov. 2024, 10:46 Ballroom Crash Course with Andrea Catellani & Daniel Sparber, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
I was a total noob and yet i was able to learn some basics pretty fast thanks to them while also having some fun. Would defo recommend this course to anyone whos going to polyball but doesnt know how to dance
25. Nov. 2024, 14:21 Ballroom Crash Course with Michael Zischg, Lena Bartl, Daniel Sparber & Zhuolin Liu, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
This is a great course for learning the basic steps of four dances. The teachers are friendly and open, and explain the steps well. The course is well adapted for complete beginners, and a good refresher if you already know the dances a little. Even though it is 4 hours long, it is not very tiring as the course is distributed throughout the day.
25. Nov. 2024, 13:10 Ballroom Crash Course with Johanna Niessing, Tim Gehrunger, Daniel Sparber & Maximilian Brandl, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Super Kurs, hat richtig Spass gemacht. Die Lehrer sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, die Stimmung war gut. Hätte nicht erwartet in 4h so weit zu kommen. Würde es jedem empfehlen (Achtung, macht Bock auf mehr!).
25. Nov. 2024, 11:24 Ballroom Crash Course with Zhuolin Liu, Daniel Sparber, Michael Zischg & Lena Bartl, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Der Crashkurs war sehr hilfreich, um uns in nur einem einzigen Tag so gut wie möglich vorzubereiten. Ich war verblüfft, wie viel wir an diesem einzigen Tag lernen konnten.
25. Nov. 2024, 11:24 Ballroom Crash Course with Zhuolin Liu, Daniel Sparber, Michael Zischg & Lena Bartl, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Toller Kurs um in die 4 angebotenen Tänze einzusteigen!
29. Oct. 2024, 20:01 Ballroom 1 with Andrea Catellani & Daniel Sparber, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Super Einsteigerkurs für Anfänger! Wir wurden in gutem Tempo an die Tänze herangeführt. Man fühlte sich nie ins kalte Wasser geworfen.
03. June 2024, 18:51 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel hat von den Füssen bis zu den Hüften erklärt, was eigentlich passiert, wenn man sauber Rumba und Cha Cha Cha tanzt. Das war für mich eine sehr gute Wiederholung. Ich würde so einen Kurs für Jive oder Samba jederzeit auch besuchen.
27. May 2024, 23:46 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the Rumba and Cha Cha technique from the bottom up. Well-structured, easy to follow, lots of tips and information to take home and practice in front of a mirror for hours.
05. May 2024, 22:53 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the focus of this lesson very nicely and gradually. Kicks and flicks are definitely a great addition to the Jive repertoire, loved it!
05. May 2024, 09:17 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel ist ein toller Tanzlehrer, er hat viel Erfahrung und kann beiden meisten Problemen mit hilfreichen Tipps weiterhelfen.

Great course for getting to know different dances for the ball (and in general)
19. Nov. 2023, 19:25 Ballroom Crash Course with Daniel Sparber & Heidi Lee, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Heidi and Daniel are very passionate teachers and really motivated me and my partner to swing them legs!
27. Oct. 2023, 16:42 Ballroom 1 with Markus Wagner, Heidi Lee & Daniel Sparber, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
Nice course for begineers, the progression is a bit fast, but for sure is not boring. I would say a proper introduction to dancing.
05. July 2023, 22:15 Paso & Samba with Christoph Hellings & Daniel Sparber, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon

11. June 2023, 19:15 Ballroom 6 with Daniel Sparber & Heidi Lee, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
