The dance course was good, Tim and Irina are great teachers!

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.

Melody is how I'd imagine an angel in dancing shoes, while Sascha is the most available (just come to any Mon open dancing) and helpful teacher I've got to know at TQ so far. Together they form a wonderful couple to teach you everything you'd like to know about ballroom dances, but also more if you're ready to be challenged. With them, the class is never over when your watch is saying so. Follower or leader, don't miss dancing with them and getting feedback on both following and leading. The classes were all fun and nicely structured, with great written summaries in the WA chat right after the class saying what has been learned / practiced that day. I'd highly recommend any of the courses with them!

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.
