Melody und Matthias leiten den Ballroom 1 Kurs hervorragend, sie machen es möglich, jede und jedem auf individuellem Niveau abzuholen, sodass jede Person das Meiste aus dem Kurs profitieren kann. Sehr viel Spass und sehr cooler Vibe mit den beiden!

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.

I highly recommend this course, beginners and people who had prior experience all seemed to profit and have a good time. The teachers are competent and very friendly.

Nice course for begineers, the progression is a bit fast, but for sure is not boring. I would say a proper introduction to dancing.

Marina & Thore were great teachers! They're funny, friendly, and super easy to talk to! :-)

In general, I think that this is a good course. It is very basic though - for someone with dance experience (followers especially, but leaders too), it only proceeds very slowly.

If you ever wondered whether to take a dancing course this is definitely the right address. The teachers are very kind and helpful and the learning pace is just right. I had a lot of fun!

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

14. July 2024, 23:23 Discofox with Robin Wolf & Lucas MünsterRoom: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Finally more Discofox figures. With Discofox only being taught in Ballroom 1 and 2, and this course being nearly booked out, I think it showed there's more than enough interest for more Discofox :D Lucas and Robin were great teachers and showed as many awesome figures with hopefully more to come in the future ;)
09. July 2024, 18:09 Discofox with Robin Wolf & Lucas MünsterRoom: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
A very fun course to learn a variety of new figures and make dancing discofox that much more interesting.

Sehr toller Kurs, genau richtig
30. Jan. 2024, 11:53 Ceilidh with Robin WolfRoom: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Der Kurs Ceilidh ist perfekt wenn man in eine ganz andere Tanzart reinschnuppern möchte. Man bekommt einen Überblick, dass es verschiedene Tänze gibt und tanzt auch verschiedene am gleichen Abend.

Loved it!!! So much fun
23. Nov. 2023, 23:31 Ballroom Crash Course with Matthias Mayer, Johanna Niessing & Robin WolfRoom: Hönggerberg, HXE
Der Kurs ist wunderbar geeignet für Einsteiger, um gewisse Grundschritte und einfache Figuren zu lernen. In einer kurzen Zeit werden die Grundlagen auf eine gute Art beigebracht und direkt (nach einer kurzen Einführung) auch im Tanz mit einem Partner geübt.

Absolute must for someone who, like me, has always been a little fascinated by dancing but was too shy to try it in front of other, more skilled people. The level is generally about the same for all participants, so I felt it was easier to make mistakes without feeling ashamed, and the teachers were really nice, and offered wonderfully clear explanations both in general to everyone, and privately on request. Great course, and the price is unbeatable!

Guter Kurs mit vielen Grundschritten verschiedener Tänze. Gut geeignet für den Start und Anfängerniveau.

very good crash-course to learn and repeat different basic steps and figures, the teachers made this very pleasant and fun
