Description

During the ballroom courses, we will teach you the basics of ballroom dancing. Ballroom dances are partner dances that are mainly popular in Europe and consist of two categories: Standard and Latin.

What you are going to learn

With Paso Doble, you are going to learn the last missing Latin dance. Additionally, we will introduce new figures for English Waltz, Quickstep, Samba, Cha Cha, and Rumba.

Janice and Thilo were great and very skilled teachers. Not only do they show you new steps, they'll try to teach you the technique you need so it'll actually look better. And they have great chemistry ;-)

Melody und Sascha sind super Kursleiter. Wir tanzen seit Ballroom 1 bei ihnen und es macht immer noch richtig Spass - nicht zuletzt weil die beiden echt gute Lehrer:innen sind. Würde ich sofort weiterempfehlen.

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.
