This is a great course for learning the basic steps of four dances. The teachers are friendly and open, and explain the steps well. The course is well adapted for complete beginners, and a good refresher if you already know the dances a little. Even though it is 4 hours long, it is not very tiring as the course is distributed throughout the day.

Super Kurs, hat richtig Spass gemacht. Die Lehrer sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, die Stimmung war gut. Hätte nicht erwartet in 4h so weit zu kommen. Würde es jedem empfehlen (Achtung, macht Bock auf mehr!).

Der Crashkurs war sehr hilfreich, um uns in nur einem einzigen Tag so gut wie möglich vorzubereiten. Ich war verblüfft, wie viel wir an diesem einzigen Tag lernen konnten.

Toller Kurs um in die 4 angebotenen Tänze einzusteigen!

Der Kurs war gut strukturiert und das Leitungsteam hat eine tolle Euphorie ausgestrahlt. Der Kurs machte viel Spass!

I never thought I would be able to learn how to dance, so I went to this curse with really low expectations and just to have fun. In the end I learned how to dance the basics, I love it and I don’t feel shy when dancing anymore, I will be probably go to other courses in the future, and I also had fun. A win win situation 😊.

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.
22. Nov. 2023, 15:12 Teachers: Sonja Maria Merkle & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Toller Crashkurs, machte Spass und deckte die wichtigsten Tanzstile ab.
20. Nov. 2023, 10:01 Teachers: Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
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

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

Thilo and Janice were excellent teachers, presenting the dance figures and general stylistic tips in an interesting and easily understandable way.
04. Nov. 2024, 22:31 Ballroom 4 with Janice Steiner & Thilo Schmid, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
The course given by Janice and Thilo was amazing! Very helpful explanations and they were very helpful when asked for help after the course as well.
03. Nov. 2024, 23:53 Ballroom 5 with Janice Steiner & Thilo Schmid, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
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 ;-)

Nice course, would do it again.
27. Oct. 2023, 16:42 Ballroom 1 with Markus Wagner, Heidi Lee & Daniel Sparber, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
Nice course for begineers, the progression is a bit fast, but for sure is not boring. I would say a proper introduction to dancing.
11. June 2023, 19:15 Ballroom 6 with Daniel Sparber & Heidi Lee, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Great dance class for everybody who already has some experience and wants to deepen their knowledge of figures and technique. Very charismatic and competent teachers (and amazing dancers)!

Sehr cool, dass man auch beim mehrmaligen Besuchen immer wieder etwas neues lernt!

Great course!

Super und verständlicher Kurs. Habe viel gelernt und hat Spass gemacht.
29. Oct. 2024, 20:01 Ballroom 1 with Andrea Catellani & Daniel Sparber, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Super Einsteigerkurs für Anfänger! Wir wurden in gutem Tempo an die Tänze herangeführt. Man fühlte sich nie ins kalte Wasser geworfen.
03. June 2024, 18:51 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel hat von den Füssen bis zu den Hüften erklärt, was eigentlich passiert, wenn man sauber Rumba und Cha Cha Cha tanzt. Das war für mich eine sehr gute Wiederholung. Ich würde so einen Kurs für Jive oder Samba jederzeit auch besuchen.
30. May 2024, 19:48 Salsa Cubana 2 with Heidi Lee & Tristan Reinhard, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
Super Kurs, stufengerechte Inhalte (Figuren), Tristan und Heidi haben das super gemacht und Hilfestellung geboten, wo sie nötig war.
27. May 2024, 23:46 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the Rumba and Cha Cha technique from the bottom up. Well-structured, easy to follow, lots of tips and information to take home and practice in front of a mirror for hours.
05. May 2024, 22:53 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the focus of this lesson very nicely and gradually. Kicks and flicks are definitely a great addition to the Jive repertoire, loved it!
05. May 2024, 09:17 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel ist ein toller Tanzlehrer, er hat viel Erfahrung und kann beiden meisten Problemen mit hilfreichen Tipps weiterhelfen.
16. April 2024, 13:14 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber & Christoph Hellings, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Great course. Thank you for all the technique tips, they are worth a lot!
08. April 2024, 09:12 Salsa Cubana 3 with Heidi Lee & Tristan Reinhard, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
I think Tristan and Heidi are very good at teaching. I truly love the positive energy they create every time I go to dance, I am always excited to go to the salsa class ! They really are attentive to our needs, they smile a lot and teach very well, breaking down the movements so that we can learn efficiently. Other than that, I also believe that they are wonderful people with a kind soul, which makes the overall learning experience very pleasant. I hope that they teach salsa until level 6 ^^.
04. April 2024, 13:42 Salsa Cubana 1 with Tristan Reinhard & Heidi Lee, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03
Tristan und Heidi sind ein tolles Team. Sie haben jede (auch noch so kleine) Frage beantwortet und waren immer gut drauf. Sie haben uns auch immer wieder ermutigt in die Bananenreiferei zu gehen, was zu tollen Abenden geführt hat.
17. Dec. 2023, 13:43 Ballroom 4 with Thilo Schmid & Vitaliya Bahdanava, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
I really enjoyed the course with Thilo and Vita. It was a nice mix of technique and figures and Thilo & Vita were very encouraging teachers. I can only recommend!
08. Nov. 2023, 15:00 Salsa Cubana 3 with Tristan Reinhard & Heidi Lee, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03
Tristan and Heidi are very motivated and can explain new figures concisely and well. It's always a pleasure to join the classes!
04. Nov. 2023, 10:32 Ballroom 3 with Vitaliya Bahdanava & Thilo Schmid, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Amazing teachers! The dance course was really nice and dynamic. I recommend it :)
02. Nov. 2023, 19:44 Ballroom 3 with Vitaliya Bahdanava & Thilo Schmid, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
The teacher were highly technically skilled and explained the new figures very well. In comparison to other instructors, they focused more on the technique and less on introducing figures. I enjoyed the course a lot.

100% Recommended!

Heidi and Tristan made the course a lot of fun and explained all the new steps, figures and turns with a lot of enthusiasm, detail and patience. This was a great way to get a taste of dancing salsa.
