Room notice

Unfortunately, CAB food&lab reserves the right to cancel our reservation on short notice in favor of other ETH events, e.g. department aperos.

In case of a cancellation, we will let you know as soon as possible. We will try to offer a replacement lesson at the end of the course period. If we can not manage to compensate for the cancellation, you can send an email to anmeldungen@tanzquotient.org to get a Tanzquotient voucher as a partial refund.

Description

The food&lab can be booked up to a week in advance so there is the possibity of a class being cancelled. In case of a cancellation we will notify you in advance. The missed class would then be added at the end of the course period.

Due to changes in the course concept, you may lack knowledge of English tango. Don't worry, we know that and will take it into account.

During the ballroom courses, we will teach you the basics of ballroom dancing. Ballroom dances are partner dances that are mainly popular in Europe and consist of two categories: Standard and Latin.

What you are going to learn

With Viennese Waltz and Quickstep, you are going to learn two new Standard dances. Additionally, we will introduce new figures for English Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba and Jive.

You are expected to know these figures. If you have any questions, please contact anmeldungen@tanzquotient.org.

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!

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 :)

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.

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.

10. July 2024, 17:26 Ballroom 1-4: Optional Figures with Irina Kempf & Tim Gehrunger, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Es ist eine Mischung aus Wiederholung ( da gewisse Figuren bereits je nach Lehrer:in behandelt wurde) Und zugleich kam Neues dazu. Das war eine super Mischung.
