Description

With people from TQ & DUZ & others, we are in the process of founding Switzerland's first latin formation dance team with the aim of competing at 5 competitions in Germany beginning of next year. It is a bit similar to the TQ show group, but more sporty. The plan is to have intensive training sessions every Sunday evening (18-22h starting softly 6.8.23 and starting fully 17.9.23). Who is interested in joining? You do not need to have experience in competitive dancing, but general dance experience (some social courses or more) would be good. Joining the formation team is a chance to learn a lot about latin dancing, and a chance to have a lot of fun by experiencing dancing as a team sport. You can try it out without obligations, but for joining competitions in the end, sufficient commitment for training will of course be needed.

As always, Chris presents interesting material that fits well to the groups abilities. It’s awesome to have this kind of advanced courses, which (together with the technique trainings on Fridays) create this group of dancers who want to improve together.

Great course. Thank you for all the technique tips, they are worth a lot!
20. Feb. 2024, 20:08 Quickstep Basic Jumping Figures with Christoph Hellings, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Chris gestaltet seine Kurse und Workshops immer so lehrreich und gleichzeitig so spaßig.

The Quickstep course was super fun, we learned a good amount of figures and had time to practice them. We also learned a bit about the 'character' of the dance.
12. Feb. 2024, 09:02 Cha Cha New Yorker Variations with Christoph Hellings, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Chris does a very good job at explaining difficult figures/variations by first teaching more simple versions to then make it easier to learn the juicy stuff.

I enjoyed this course, we looked as many variations that we’ll be able to use during the open dancing.

Chris is a great teacher & finds the perfect balance between technique that you need, fun figures and challenges!
07. Feb. 2024, 15:59 Polka with Christoph Hellings, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Very nice introduction to Polka, in particular for everyone who joined the trip to Vienna where we could dance quite a few Polkas.

Chris hat ein grosses Theoriewissen und streut es in guten Maße in seine Kurse ein. Nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig, gerade genug dass es interessant ist, man nicht nur die Schritte lernt, sondern auch lernt wie sie zusammen spielen sollen, und was sich auf andere Tänze übertragen lässt.

Great and fun course, just the right amount of technique, variations of figures and music to practice.

The dance course strikes the perfect balance between reviewing figures, improving technique and focusing on the variety that ballroom dancing has to offer. I greatly enjoyed every session of the course & look forward to the next course! Chris is an excellent teacher!

This is a fantastic course, I have learned so much, particularly how figures can be combined, when they can be danced, and how to dance them well. I also really enjoyed the explanations of concepts like swing and different energies of the steps within figures. Chris brings so much positive energy and happiness to his classes, which makes it even more enjoyable to learn and improve. There was also lots of individual feedback and input from the class.
