Description

The class on July 17th will take place in the HXE building on Hönggerberg!

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 Paso Doble, you are going to learn the last missing Latin dance. Additionally, we will introduce new figures for English Waltz, Quickstep, Samba, Cha Cha, and Rumba.

Janice and Thilo were great and very skilled teachers. Not only do they show you new steps, they'll try to teach you the technique you need so it'll actually look better. And they have great chemistry ;-)

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.

Ich habe schon mehrere Kurse bei Tim und Irina besucht, die alle sehr unterhaltsam und lehrreich waren. Die Beiden sind ein gut eingespieltes Team und haben einen angenehmen Erklärungsstil.

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!

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.

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 :)
