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!

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!

Irina and Tim were great teachers, very helpful and professional with explaining the new figures. Totally recommend Ballroom 3!

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 :)

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

29. Aug. 2024, 17:32 Ballroom 1 with Melody Greminger & Matthias MayerRoom: 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!

Amazing class!
18. Dec. 2024, 12:26 Ballroom 4 with Michael Zischg & Melody GremingerRoom: 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 GremingerRoom: 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.

It was nice, lot of patience. Would do again.
26. Nov. 2024, 13:22 Ballroom Crash Course with Melody Greminger & Robin WolfRoom: Hönggerberg, HXE
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 WolfRoom: 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 😊.

Fun fun fun!

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.

Was fun and very useful for Vienna :)
10. Jan. 2024, 17:47 Quadrille with Matthias MayerRoom: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Fun dance and very cool course!
23. Nov. 2023, 23:31 Ballroom Crash Course with Matthias Mayer, Johanna Niessing & Robin WolfRoom: 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.
22. Nov. 2023, 15:12 Ballroom Crash Course with Sonja Maria Merkle & Matthias MayerRoom: Hönggerberg, HXE
Toller Crashkurs, machte Spass und deckte die wichtigsten Tanzstile ab.
20. Nov. 2023, 10:01 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias MayerRoom: 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 MayerRoom: 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 MayerRoom: Hönggerberg, HXE
very good crash-course to learn and repeat different basic steps and figures, the teachers made this very pleasant and fun
