10. July 2024, 17:26 Ballroom 1-4: Optional Figures with Irina Kempf & Tim Gehrunger, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Es ist eine Mischung aus Wiederholung ( da gewisse Figuren bereits je nach Lehrer:in behandelt wurde) Und zugleich kam Neues dazu. Das war eine super Mischung.

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.
