Fabian & Julia had very clear explanations of the moves, and the course was very fun. There was often an optional rueda at the end of the class, which was a highlight.

Starting from scratch, it left me eager to learn constantly more dancing moves. Big-ups tq!
25. July 2025, 10:06 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Teachers taught us not only interesting moves, but also stylings and hints for the music understanding. They gave us enough assistance and freedom to try on our own. Really social and open! The best of the best.

It. Was. Amazing. <3
05. June 2025, 01:03 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
I loved this course and Fabian and Julia as instructors!! Very fun new figures, lots of practice to remember the steps, positive environment and good vibes. And really fun ruedas! 10/10 recommend
02. June 2025, 11:52 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
What a great course! On the last day we all went to open dancing together after the lesson. Was so so fun. Thank you Julia and Fabian!
01. June 2025, 22:07 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
Julia and Fabian are great teachers. Their classes are always fun and never boring. They don't shy away from dancing with their students and give feedback. At the end of each class we always did a Rueda and never managed to end on time cause everyone was too busy having fun dancing. We even went to Platzspitz together for a Salsa social after the final session :D
04. June 2025, 14:01 Teachers: Lukas Vögeli & Marla Kohli, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
Marla and Lukas were great teachers, can only recommend taking a course with them. Whenever someone had a question their input was very helpful. Also they taught the course with so much joy and enthusiasm that the course was always a nice way to spend your Monday evening.

With Salsa Cubana 2 you can finally start to do more long and complex figures, putting together the simpler moves learned in the previous class. By going to the Latino Open Dancing the improvement is quick and fun. I would absolutely recommend taking Salsa 1 before this class to get the basics right, as Salsa basics are complex to master.
02. June 2025, 13:46 Teachers: Anaïse Vallée & Kai Ott, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
Anaïse and Kai teach salsa in an amazing and engaging way. We were always guaranteed to learn sth and have a lot of fun.
30. May 2025, 12:03 Teachers: Richard Santiago & Melanie Letoré, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
It was a lot of fun and a great introduction, also if you have never danced before. Richard is super good at explaining the figures and techniques and Melanie brings a very engaging energy to the course.
30. May 2025, 07:04 Teachers: Richard Santiago & Melanie Letoré, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02

I had so much fun with Lukas and Anais ! They were so chill and welcoming, and gave useful advice. Over the time of the course, a nice vibe was created between the course participants, and we learned so much in an entertaining way.
17. Dec. 2023, 10:18 Teachers: Silvan Meyer & Ramona Muentener, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03
Silvan und Ramona sind energiegeladen und bringen uns Salsa Cubana auf eine verständliche und praktische Art und Weise, welche alles andere als starr ist, bei. Sie tanzen auch regelmässig mit den Teilnehmern und geben uns direktes Feedback, was extrem wertvoll ist.
15. Dec. 2023, 16:42 Teachers: Silvan Meyer & Ramona Muentener, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03

The best of the best! Teachers were always open for new questions and repetitions, politely explaining smallest details even for dummies like me. Recommend everyone!
12. Sept. 2025, 15:19 Salsa Cubana 3 with Fabian Weber & Julia Kruszynska, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Julia and Fabian created a fantastic atmosphere that made every class fun and engaging. They explained the figures in fun yet clear way and provided very concrete feedback along the way. I always left in a better mood than when I arrived because of the energy and enthusiasm they brought to the room. I can highly recommend them!
12. Sept. 2025, 11:23 Salsa Cubana 3 with Fabian Weber & Julia Kruszynska, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Julia und Fabian sind richtig sympathisch und es macht Spass mit Ihnen neue Figuren und Schritte zu lernen. Ich kann einen Kurs bei Ihnen absolut empfehlen.

Very nice class, great for beginners! Julia and Fabian explained the figures very clearly and they made the class very fun :D
29. July 2025, 15:43 Salsa Cubana 1 with Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
It was the perfect salsa course for beginners and I would definitely recommend it! The teachers were dedicated and introduced everything step by step. For example, we spent quite a lot of time in the beginning practicing to hear the music and find the beat, which I find extremely helpful as a leader. The recap videos of the figures and steps we learned were also very useful, for example to spot details I missed in class or forgot. We danced with many partners, including the teachers themselves, who gave helpful individual feedback from both the leader and follower perspective. Practicing figures in Rueda made it extra fun. A fantastic introduction to salsa!
25. July 2025, 08:51 Salsa Cubana 1 with Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Great course to learn the salsa basics and practise them. Julia and Fabian are funny teachers and explain the steps carefully.
24. July 2025, 21:18 Salsa Cubana 1 with Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
I cannot recommend it enough! We learned so many steps and figures and styling tips even in course 1. Fabian and Julia did an amazing job! I had so much fun. Go try it out for yourself ;)
30. May 2025, 09:34 Salsa Cubana 1 with Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02

09. April 2025, 23:33 Salsa Cubana 1 with Fabian Weber & Julia Kruszynska, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
Fabian and Julia are amazing! They have the right balance between going fast and repeating previous figures. So you get to learn fast with enough chances of repeating previous steps. They don't shy away from dancing with their students which is amazing for beginners as dancing with someone experienced is an absolutely invaluable experience. You can tell they really enjoy teaching and they provide summary videos and music recommendations every week. We did a Rueda every class which would usually extend beyond the end of the class as everyone wanted to keep going. Genuinely the most fun I had during a dancing class. Can't believe it was their first time teaching a class. Definitely looking forward to Salsa 2 with them :D If there was only one Salsa class you could go to, this is the one to pick!
09. April 2025, 22:22 Salsa Cubana 1 with Fabian Weber & Julia Kruszynska, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
I loved this course!!! Fabian and Julia were the best. Lots of feedback while dancing with us, easy introductions to new figures, fun and silly ruedas. 10/10 environment, the class became the favorite part of my week.
