Super Einsteigerkurs für Anfänger! Wir wurden in gutem Tempo an die Tänze herangeführt. Man fühlte sich nie ins kalte Wasser geworfen.

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!

Great teachers! It is the Basics. To make progress and not to forget everything in a week, you have to exercisse at home with the vidoes provided. Or take advantage of the sessions on friday.

I highly recommend this course, beginners and people who had prior experience all seemed to profit and have a good time. The teachers are competent and very friendly.

Nice course for begineers, the progression is a bit fast, but for sure is not boring. I would say a proper introduction to dancing.

Marina & Thore were great teachers! They're funny, friendly, and super easy to talk to! :-)

In general, I think that this is a good course. It is very basic though - for someone with dance experience (followers especially, but leaders too), it only proceeds very slowly.

If you ever wondered whether to take a dancing course this is definitely the right address. The teachers are very kind and helpful and the learning pace is just right. I had a lot of fun!

24. Nov. 2024, 18:19 Ballroom Crash Course with Zhuolin Liu, Daniel Sparber, Michael Zischg & Lena BartlRoom: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Der Crashkurs war sehr hilfreich, um uns in nur einem einzigen Tag so gut wie möglich vorzubereiten. Ich war verblüfft, wie viel wir an diesem einzigen Tag lernen konnten.
24. Nov. 2024, 16:12 Ballroom Crash Course with Zhuolin Liu, Daniel Sparber, Michael Zischg & Lena BartlRoom: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Toller Kurs um in die 4 angebotenen Tänze einzusteigen!
03. June 2024, 18:51 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel SparberRoom: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel hat von den Füssen bis zu den Hüften erklärt, was eigentlich passiert, wenn man sauber Rumba und Cha Cha Cha tanzt. Das war für mich eine sehr gute Wiederholung. Ich würde so einen Kurs für Jive oder Samba jederzeit auch besuchen.
27. May 2024, 23:46 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel SparberRoom: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the Rumba and Cha Cha technique from the bottom up. Well-structured, easy to follow, lots of tips and information to take home and practice in front of a mirror for hours.
05. May 2024, 22:53 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel SparberRoom: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the focus of this lesson very nicely and gradually. Kicks and flicks are definitely a great addition to the Jive repertoire, loved it!

Daniel ist ein toller Tanzlehrer, er hat viel Erfahrung und kann beiden meisten Problemen mit hilfreichen Tipps weiterhelfen.
