we got humiliated, our followers did more sit-ups than us, need to start a 10 year training arc now, but the teacher Kai has very broad manly boulder shoulders. 10/10 would recommend

Excellent lecture, fun, with many technical details and careful support! Anaïs and Kai are very good teachers
05. Oct. 2025, 20:14 Teachers: Anaïse Vallée & Kai Ott, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Anaiise and Kai make one the most memorable classes I had in TQ, it's a lot of fun, great physical activity, figures I feel proud about doing, and want to use to show off. Some felt like rock'n'roll. They teach some very unique figures, and the ability to educate people so fast is impressive. I do highly recommend this class to everyone intersted in social dance as a life experience.

Kai and Ana are wonderful teachers. They introduced some really interesting figures in class and explained them clearly so everyone could follow along. They’re very talented dancers, and it’s always fun to watch them. Ana is so graceful! It’s so nice that they organize these extra courses!

Great one-time salsa course! It was super fun to learn lifts in a safe and supportive environment. The teachers gave clear guidance and made sure everyone felt confident. Highly recommended!

Anaise and Kai were great teachers, they explained everything really well and took their time to go around and help everyone with the lifts. I also really appreciated that they showed different options for the figures to make sure everyone was feeling comfortable.

Anaïse and Kai did an amazing job leading the „Lifts and Dips“ training. Initially the figure seemed very advanced but they prepared us well and showed full confidence and expertise in how to do it safely and correctly. I felt fully supported and in good hands throughout the training.

I absolutely loved this reggaeton class! Leonor is an incredible teacher—she clearly knows her stuff, especially with her deep knowledge of Afro-Cuban dance. She broke down the movements in a super fun and approachable way, starting with the basics and then layering on complexity step by step. Her instructions were really clear and easy to follow, which made it so enjoyable. I’d totally recommend this course to anyone looking to dive into reggaeton with a skilled and passionate instructor!
12. July 2025, 15:22 Teachers: Leonor, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Leonor clearly has a lot of experience with Salsa. The best part is that she does an amazing job passing on her knowledge and experience while also making the lesson fun and engaging.

Der Kurs war großartig! Die Lehrerin hat jeden Schritt der Figur einfach und verständlich erklärt. Danach haben wir alles zusammengefügt, was zu einer tollen und spaßigen Kombination geführt hat. Ich kann den Kurs jedem mit mittlerem bis fortgeschrittenem Niveau absolut empfehlen. Der perfekte Start ins Wochenende!

Great course! I highly recommend Ale and Xidan to everybody that want to learn proper Bachata technique. They are international teachers and were trained by the founder of Bachata sensual: They know what they are talking about. They prioritise a good technique right from the start to build a proper fundament. They are super nice, fun and engaged in the class to make everybody profit as much as possible.

Alessandro and Xidan are some of the best Bachata teachers I know of. They have amazing technique and spot and correct small errors, but also give their class in a really relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. Bonus points for the Practicas that Pietro organizes after the class.
