Description

Bei diesem Raum besteht die Möglichkeit, dass er bis zu einer Woche im Voraus abgesagt werden kann. Sollte dies passieren und somit eine Lektion ausfallen, werden wir euch per Email informieren. Die verpasste Lektion würde dann am Ende der Kursperiode angehängt werden.

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.

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 Samba, you are going to learn one new Latin dance. Additionally, we will learn the reverse turn in Viennese Waltz and introduce new figures for Tango, Quickstep, Cha Cha, Rumba and Jive.

Ich fand ihn wirklich super. Ihr macht das phänomenal zusammen! Ich fand auch gut, dass man jedes Mal etwas neues lernt, auch wenn man den Social 4 zweimal macht, da die Tanzpartnerin gewechselt hat.

In my opinion, we spent too much time on "basic" steps, and repeating figures we already knew. It was also a bit frustrating to learn so little about samba and tango.

I think Rumba and Cha Cha were missing. The refresher for Viennese Waltz was really nice. The new figures were interesting.

The instructions for the follower could be explained more clearly.
