Sehr toller Kurs, wirklich empfehlenswert. Melody und Sascha haben sehr gut gemeinsam unterrichtet und sich immer die nötige Zeit genommen, die Figuren mehrmals im Detail zu üben. Auch das individuelle Feedback war immer sehr hilfreich.

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!

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

05. July 2025, 11:32 Ballroom Starter Recap with Heidi Lee, Sabrina Kleesattel & Michael Zischg, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Cooler Kurs. Auch super um sich zu verbessern nach Ballroom 1. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
04. July 2025, 14:32 Ballroom Starter Recap with Heidi Lee, Sabrina Kleesattel & Michael Zischg, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
This course was fantastic! The two instructors were super friendly and clearly passionate about teaching. We were able to make great progress in just three sessions — reviewing all the material from Ballroom 1 and possibly learning figures that went beyond it (potentially from Ballroom 2). The atmosphere was always positive and motivating. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their ballroom technique while having fun!

08. April 2024, 09:12 Salsa Cubana 3 with Heidi Lee & Tristan Reinhard, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
I think Tristan and Heidi are very good at teaching. I truly love the positive energy they create every time I go to dance, I am always excited to go to the salsa class ! They really are attentive to our needs, they smile a lot and teach very well, breaking down the movements so that we can learn efficiently. Other than that, I also believe that they are wonderful people with a kind soul, which makes the overall learning experience very pleasant. I hope that they teach salsa until level 6 ^^.

Tristan und Heidi sind ein tolles Team. Sie haben jede (auch noch so kleine) Frage beantwortet und waren immer gut drauf. Sie haben uns auch immer wieder ermutigt in die Bananenreiferei zu gehen, was zu tollen Abenden geführt hat.

Nice course for begineers, the progression is a bit fast, but for sure is not boring. I would say a proper introduction to dancing.
