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 social 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.

Requirements for the course

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!

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.

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 :)

Great teachers! It is the Basics. To make progress and not to forget everything in a week, you have to exercisse at home with the vidoes provided. Or take advantage of the sessions on friday.

Sehr guter Kurs und Lehrpersonen. Gehen indivuell auf die Teilnehmer ein. Passen das Tempo der Gruppe an. Geben viele Freiheiten, was gelernt bzw. repetiert wird.
