Description

The UZH building is locked from 19:00 onwards. Our previous course ends at 20:00, so there should be people exiting, allowing you to get in. We will also check the door at 20:15 to let you in.

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 Viennese Waltz and Quickstep, you are going to learn two new Standard dances. Additionally, we will introduce new figures for English Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba and Jive.

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!

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.

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 :)

War ein lustiger Abend und mal was anderes. Gerne wieder!

Sehr hilfreicher Tanzkurs zum Erlernen von vier verschiedenen Choreografien, die erstaunlicherweise nach nur einer Tanzsession auch schon alle sitzen und für später angewendet werden können. Vielen Dank an die beiden tollen Tanzlehrer!

The course and choreos we learnt were very fun. I‘m ready for all the parties now!

Thore and Vitaliya were amazing teachers! Their classes are great fun, and they're really good at breaking down and explaining new steps they introduce in each class. So glad I signed up!
05. June 2024, 18:22 Ballroom 2 with Vitaliya Bahdanava & Thore Göbel, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Sehr cooler Kurs, ich fand die Beiden leitenden Personen sehr Kompetent und eingespielt. Sie haben einem immer weitergeholfen und haben die Schritte sehr ausführlich erklärt. Was ich ebenfalls sehr toll fand, ist, dass sie bereits etwas auf die Form und Technik eingegangen sind und nicht nur gezeigt haben in welcher Reihenfolge man die Schritte machen muss.

Thore & Vitaliya are super nice teachers! Their explanations are great, they're fun and approachable. Would definitely attend one of their courses again.

Thore and Marina are great teachers! It's easy to follow their explanations; they have found a good balance between dry runs and dancing to music, all while providing just the right amount of feedback. They're also approachable and fun. I would definitely join one of their courses again.
