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!

Tim und Irina erklären die Schritte und Technik verständlich, sie sind sehr hilfsbereit und geben gutes Feedback. Ich hatte viel Spass bei ihnen im Kurs!
16. April 2024, 23:12 Teachers: Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
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!
16. April 2024, 11:26 Teachers: Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Irina and Tim were great teachers, very helpful and professional with explaining the new figures. Totally recommend Ballroom 3!

Great teaching !
12. Sept. 2023, 12:36 Teachers: Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
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 :)

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

Der Kurs war gut strukturiert und das Leitungsteam hat eine tolle Euphorie ausgestrahlt. Der Kurs machte viel Spass!
26. Nov. 2024, 11:27 Ballroom Crash Course with Melody Greminger & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
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 😊.

Amazing class!
18. Dec. 2024, 12:26 Ballroom 4 with Michael Zischg & Melody Greminger, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
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.
17. Dec. 2024, 22:50 Ballroom 4 with Michael Zischg & Melody Greminger, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
Melody, Michi and Sascha are all lovely and approachable teachers. The course had a great atmosphere and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.
03. Nov. 2024, 23:53 Ballroom 2 with Lena Bartl & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Great course, I had lot's of fun. Many thanks to Lena and Robin!
03. Nov. 2024, 23:53 Ballroom 2 with Lena Bartl & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
10 out of 10 would recommend.
02. Sept. 2024, 18:33 Ballroom 1 with Melody Greminger & Matthias Mayer, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Der Kurs hat sehr Spass gemacht und die Lehrer:innen waren sehr kompetent
29. Aug. 2024, 17:32 Ballroom 1 with Melody Greminger & Matthias Mayer, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Melody und Matthias leiten den Ballroom 1 Kurs hervorragend, sie machen es möglich, jede und jedem auf individuellem Niveau abzuholen, sodass jede Person das Meiste aus dem Kurs profitieren kann. Sehr viel Spass und sehr cooler Vibe mit den beiden!
14. July 2024, 23:23 Discofox with Robin Wolf & Lucas Münster, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Finally more Discofox figures. With Discofox only being taught in Ballroom 1 and 2, and this course being nearly booked out, I think it showed there's more than enough interest for more Discofox :D Lucas and Robin were great teachers and showed as many awesome figures with hopefully more to come in the future ;)
09. July 2024, 18:09 Discofox with Robin Wolf & Lucas Münster, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
A very fun course to learn a variety of new figures and make dancing discofox that much more interesting.
07. June 2024, 07:52 Ballroom 4 with Vitaliya Bahdanava & Thore Göbel, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
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.
05. June 2024, 17:32 Ballroom 4 with Vitaliya Bahdanava & Thore Göbel, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Thore & Vitaliya are super nice teachers! Their explanations are great, they're fun and approachable. Would definitely attend one of their courses again.
28. April 2024, 19:14 Crashcourse: Discofox & Jive with Carina Ragg & Robin Wolf, Room: Spirgarten
Sehr toller Kurs, genau richtig
30. Jan. 2024, 11:53 Ceilidh with Robin Wolf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Der Kurs Ceilidh ist perfekt wenn man in eine ganz andere Tanzart reinschnuppern möchte. Man bekommt einen Überblick, dass es verschiedene Tänze gibt und tanzt auch verschiedene am gleichen Abend.
29. Jan. 2024, 20:28 Ceilidh with Robin Wolf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Loved it!!! So much fun
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!
23. Nov. 2023, 23:31 Ballroom Crash Course with Matthias Mayer, Johanna Niessing & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
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.
20. Nov. 2023, 10:01 Ballroom Crash Course with 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!
19. Nov. 2023, 12:38 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Guter Kurs mit vielen Grundschritten verschiedener Tänze. Gut geeignet für den Start und Anfängerniveau.
17. Nov. 2023, 13:16 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
very good crash-course to learn and repeat different basic steps and figures, the teachers made this very pleasant and fun
