War mega gut. Melody und Michael (und Sasha) sind sehr kompetent und haben offensichtlich viel Spass am Tanzen und am Unterrichten desgleichen. Diese Freude zeigt sich dann bei den Figuren und Tipps die sie zeigen und geben. Der Kurs war immer eine tolle Erfahrung und ich bin wöchentlich mit mehr Energie und Begeisterung nach hause gegangen als ich an den Kurstagen zuvor hatte.

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!

Thilo and Janice were excellent teachers, presenting the dance figures and general stylistic tips in an interesting and easily understandable way.

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 ;-)

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.
