Tim and Irina are very nice and funny and in general really enjoyed the course! It was fun and we really do learn a lot.

Thore and Marina are great teachers! It's easy to follow their explanations; they have found a good balance between dry runs and dancing to music, all while providing just the right amount of feedback. They're also approachable and fun. I would definitely join one of their courses again.

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.

Der Kurs Ceilidh ist perfekt wenn man in eine ganz andere Tanzart reinschnuppern möchte. Man bekommt einen Überblick, dass es verschiedene Tänze gibt und tanzt auch verschiedene am gleichen Abend.

Loved it!!! So much fun
23. Nov. 2023, 23:31 Ballroom Crash Course with Matthias Mayer, Johanna Niessing & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Der Kurs ist wunderbar geeignet für Einsteiger, um gewisse Grundschritte und einfache Figuren zu lernen. In einer kurzen Zeit werden die Grundlagen auf eine gute Art beigebracht und direkt (nach einer kurzen Einführung) auch im Tanz mit einem Partner geübt.
20. Nov. 2023, 10:01 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Absolute must for someone who, like me, has always been a little fascinated by dancing but was too shy to try it in front of other, more skilled people. The level is generally about the same for all participants, so I felt it was easier to make mistakes without feeling ashamed, and the teachers were really nice, and offered wonderfully clear explanations both in general to everyone, and privately on request. Great course, and the price is unbeatable!

Thank you so much - we loved it!

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.

This class was really fun! Really good for anyone wanting to try out Salsa for the first time as it’s only for 6 weeks. The teachers are super helpful and everyone in the class was motivated so the atmosphere was super nice:)
