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!

Fun and good course before attending a ball in Vienna. It also does not matter if you learn the leader or follower part because both are fun.

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.

Toller Crashkurs, machte Spass und deckte die wichtigsten Tanzstile ab.

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!
