During the social 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.

You are going to learn four classic dances with which you can shine on every dance floor. These dances are the elegant English Waltz, the vibrant Cha Cha, the modern Disco Fox and the upbeat Jive.

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.

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!

Ballroom Crash Course with Michael Zischg, Lena Bartl, Daniel Sparber & Zhuolin Liu, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
This is a great course for learning the basic steps of four dances. The teachers are friendly and open, and explain the steps well. The course is well adapted for complete beginners, and a good refresher if you already know the dances a little. Even though it is 4 hours long, it is not very tiring as the course is distributed throughout the day.

Ballroom Crash Course with Zhuolin Liu, Daniel Sparber, Michael Zischg & Lena Bartl, Room: 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.

Dance Party Choreos with Karl Jäger & Thore Göbel, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Sehr hilfreicher Tanzkurs zum Erlernen von vier verschiedenen Choreografien, die erstaunlicherweise nach nur einer Tanzsession auch schon alle sitzen und für später angewendet werden können. Vielen Dank an die beiden tollen Tanzlehrer!

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!

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.

Ballroom 2 with Thore Göbel & Marina Ivanović, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
Thore and Marina are great teachers! It's easy to follow their explanations; they have found a good balance between dry runs and dancing to music, all while providing just the right amount of feedback. They're also approachable and fun. I would definitely join one of their courses again.
