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!

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!

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 !

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

Nice course, would do it again.
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.
30. Jan. 2024, 11:53 Ceilidh with Robin Wolf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
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!
19. Nov. 2023, 21:20 Ballroom Crash Course with Daniel Sparber & Heidi Lee, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Thank you so much - we loved it!
19. Nov. 2023, 20:24 Ballroom Crash Course with Daniel Sparber & Heidi Lee, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille

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!
19. Nov. 2023, 12:38 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Guter Kurs mit vielen Grundschritten verschiedener Tänze. Gut geeignet für den Start und Anfängerniveau.

very good crash-course to learn and repeat different basic steps and figures, the teachers made this very pleasant and fun
08. Nov. 2023, 15:00 Salsa Cubana 3 with Tristan Reinhard & Heidi Lee, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03
Tristan and Heidi are very motivated and can explain new figures concisely and well. It's always a pleasure to join the classes!
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. Aug. 2023, 13:11 Salsa Cubana 1 with Heidi Lee & Tristan Reinhard, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
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:)
20. July 2023, 21:58 Salsa Cubana 2 with Tristan Reinhard & Heidi Lee, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92

Heidi and Tristan made the course a lot of fun and explained all the new steps, figures and turns with a lot of enthusiasm, detail and patience. This was a great way to get a taste of dancing salsa.
