Description

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.

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 ;-)

Finde es echt klasse wie Tim und Irina den Kurs geben. Man kann jeder Zeit individuelle Tipps holen, wenn's gerade nicht klappt.

Amazing class!

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.

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 😊.
