The courses were just amazing, Galatea creates a very easy-going and warm environment in the classes, at the same time her teaching style is very efficient, we learnt a lot in a very short time and most importantly, we had a lot of fun! Thanx Galatea ♥️

Bringt unbedingt einen Tanzpartner mit, sodass die Leader/Follower Ausgewogenheit jederzeit gewährleistet ist. Andernfalls wird erwartet, dass du die entsprechend fehlende Rolle (Leader oder Follower) tanzt und dies auch mit gleichgeschlechtlichen Partnern. Es sollte gesagt werden, dass TanzQuotient nicht sicherstellen kann, dass Leader/Follower im gleichen Verhältnis am Kurs teilnehmen. Der Raum war ok, obwohl wir jedes Mal die Stühle und Bänke wegräumen mussten. Ich tanze auch bei anderen Tanzschulen in Zürich. Dort ist es eine Selbstverständlichkeit, dass sich die Schule für Ausgeglichenheit sorgt.

Galatea is a wonderful teacher! She explained all the steps very clearly and made the class feel engaging. She gave excellent icebreaker exercises and introduced progressions that helped us advance gradually to more complicated steps like "caminhada" or turns. I also really appreciated how she challenged stereotypical gender roles, showing that women do not always have to follow and teaching us how to give constructive feedback to our dance partners.

Galatea is a great teacher. Could not have asked for a better introduction to Forró. The progression and content of the course was very well planned and explained. I love everything about this course.
