I think the figures that are taught should have been spread out over the semester some more. It felt like the first few weeks were quite light and then the latter few weeks went quite a bit faster. The end result is that people ended up being a bit confused during the second half of the course

Es gab ungefähr doppelt so viele Paare wie beim Social 1 Kurs, den ich letztes Jahr besucht habe. Deshalb konnte man natürlich viel weniger mit den Tanzlehrern interagieren, was schade ist. Aber vielen Dank für das Angebot!

I can understand that the teachers want to encourage the change of partners, but in the class last week I felt a bit pressurised to change partner although I don't want to change partner because I feel uncomfortable being so close to other people. Especially because I got COVID last year from the social dance course where we did a lot of partner change, so this time I want to reduce the risk of getting COVID by sticking to the same partner since COVID cases are massively increasing at the moment.

Ich würde mir wünschen, dass die Lehrer:innen jeweils mehr zu den einzelnen Paaren gehen und korrigieren würden.

Mir gefiel der Mix und die Abwechslung an unterschiedlichen Stilen. Nicht gefallen hat mir, wie der Kurs strukturiert war: Immer bei jeder kleinen Übung die Gruppe wieder in Follower und Leader zu trennen, war extrem ineffizient. Ich fand es auch unnötig, die Figuren wieder Schritt für Schritt anzuschauen und in extrem langsamem Tempo synchron mit dem Lehrer zu machen, nur weil ein paar Unklarheiten aufgetaucht sind. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass jene, die die Figuren verstanden haben, einfach hätten üben können und individuell Verbesserungen angebracht und Fragen geklärt werden. Auch wurde kaum der Partner gewechselt. Da ist, meiner Meinung nach, zu wenig Initiative vom Tanzlehrer gekommen, dass man nach einer Regel wechselt (z.B. Leader stehenbleiben und Follower in Tanzrichtung weitergehen).

The amount of people made it difficult to practice the dances where you had to go around the room. Teachers cool and helpful, they work great together

It was sometimes confusing that Andrea interrupted what Daniel was saying to say opposite things. Also, for the explanation of steps/figures when we're all doing it together, I think it would be better not to stop at each step for a few minutes of explanation because we lose the rhythm and the overall view on what we're doing.
Otherwise it was a great course, with very enthusiastic and nice teachers, thank you Daniel and Andrea !

nice location & sympathetic teachers. sometimes explanations were hard to understand acoustically and technically. Explanations were always given by and for the leader - I would have appreciated getting explained more often also the follower part.

One lessen had barely new information. (Repetition of Quickstep from last lesson, then one Quickstep figure (Lockstep). Then it was repetition of the english walz from Social 1.) In this lessen i found there was also lengthy, repetitive verbal explanation of very trivial things (10 min of - you go down into the knees when doing the slow movement) and only giving little time for practice. I see that some struggle with the social 1 steps but without training outside of the course it would take a long time to learn in class. (I feel its like a language.)
But it was only this lesson where i felt it was slow.
Overall great course.
I looooooove the videos after the course. They are so helpful when going over the class afterwards.

Suitable flooring in the room would have been nice

When we did fast dances like Wiener Waltz the room size was rather small for the amount of people we had in our course. Also I think some repetition and additional figures would have been nice for all the Social 1 dances (Disco Fox and Jive were missing).

very good teaching, I really liked the course!
I hope that there are some courses during the summer so that I won't forget all steps :)
