Super tolle Tanzlehrpersonen und genau das richtige Niveau zum Tanzen lernen.

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.

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!

Really good teachers! Good preparation for the Polyball ;)

Nice course for begineers, the progression is a bit fast, but for sure is not boring. I would say a proper introduction to dancing.
27. Oct. 2023, 14:41 Teachers: Marina Ivanović & Thore Göbel, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
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.
05. June 2023, 17:05 Teachers: Veronica Edwards & Lucas Münster, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
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!

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

25. Nov. 2024, 13:10 Ballroom Crash Course with Johanna Niessing, Tim Gehrunger, Daniel Sparber & Maximilian Brandl, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Super Kurs, hat richtig Spass gemacht. Die Lehrer sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, die Stimmung war gut. Hätte nicht erwartet in 4h so weit zu kommen. Würde es jedem empfehlen (Achtung, macht Bock auf mehr!).
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.
09. July 2024, 19:13 Ballroom 1-4: Optional Figures with Irina Kempf & Tim Gehrunger, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Ich habe schon mehrere Kurse bei Tim und Irina besucht, die alle sehr unterhaltsam und lehrreich waren. Die Beiden sind ein gut eingespieltes Team und haben einen angenehmen Erklärungsstil.

16. April 2024, 23:12 Ballroom 3 with Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
I liked how Irina and Tim explained a lot of technique when introducing the figures so that the people who already understood the basics could pay attention to the details already!

Sehr guter Kurs und Lehrpersonen. Gehen indivuell auf die Teilnehmer ein. Passen das Tempo der Gruppe an. Geben viele Freiheiten, was gelernt bzw. repetiert wird.

Great teaching !
12. Sept. 2023, 12:36 Ballroom 3 with Tim Gehrunger & Irina Kempf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
A steep learning curve from Ballroom 2 to Ballroom 3 through the addition of Quickstep and Viennese Waltz, but with the help of Irina and Tim it was manageable. Their patience and elaborate explanations helped immensly! Looking forward to their Ballroom 4 course :)
30. July 2023, 14:18 Ballroom 5 with Irina Kempf & Tim Gehrunger, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Tim and Irina are the perfect partners, making the class an absolute delight. Loved the focus on technique – learning was a breeze! Can't wait to cha-cha-choose another course with them.
