Axel und Viera können die Figuren und Techniken sehr sehr gut und verständlich erklären. Großes Lob! Insgesamt hat mir der Kurs sehr viel Spaß gemacht und ich habe viel gelernt.

Das Lehrerpaar war topmotiviert und hat die Tanzschritte mit Witz + Style vorgezeigt. So hat es gleich noch mehr Spass gemacht in den Tanzstunden :). Andrea und Daniel haben darauf geachtet, dass alle Teilnehmerpaare Feedback bekommen und haben uns mit bei Fragen gerne und oft weitergeholfen.

Sehr toller Kurs

It was nice, lot of patience. Would do again.
05. June 2024, 18:22 Teachers: 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.

Marina & Thore were the best!

Tim and Irina are very nice and funny and in general really enjoyed the course! It was fun and we really do learn a lot.
14. Dec. 2023, 13:32 Teachers: 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.

Thore and Lena were really good teachers. With their humurous and teaching style, they achieved a good atmosphere for the dance group. thanks!

Ein tolles Angebot, super Lehrer und Kurse, sehr empfehlenswert!
26. Nov. 2024, 13:22 Ballroom Crash Course with Melody Greminger & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Der Kurs war gut strukturiert und das Leitungsteam hat eine tolle Euphorie ausgestrahlt. Der Kurs machte viel Spass!
26. Nov. 2024, 11:27 Ballroom Crash Course with Melody Greminger & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
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 😊.
25. Nov. 2024, 14:21 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.
25. Nov. 2024, 11:24 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.
25. Nov. 2024, 11:24 Ballroom Crash Course with Zhuolin Liu, Daniel Sparber, Michael Zischg & Lena Bartl, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Toller Kurs um in die 4 angebotenen Tänze einzusteigen!
14. July 2024, 23:23 Discofox with Robin Wolf & Lucas Münster, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Finally more Discofox figures. With Discofox only being taught in Ballroom 1 and 2, and this course being nearly booked out, I think it showed there's more than enough interest for more Discofox :D Lucas and Robin were great teachers and showed as many awesome figures with hopefully more to come in the future ;)
09. July 2024, 18:09 Discofox with Robin Wolf & Lucas Münster, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
A very fun course to learn a variety of new figures and make dancing discofox that much more interesting.
28. April 2024, 19:14 Crashcourse: Discofox & Jive with Carina Ragg & Robin Wolf, Room: Spirgarten
Sehr toller Kurs, genau richtig
30. Jan. 2024, 11:53 Ceilidh with Robin Wolf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Der Kurs Ceilidh ist perfekt wenn man in eine ganz andere Tanzart reinschnuppern möchte. Man bekommt einen Überblick, dass es verschiedene Tänze gibt und tanzt auch verschiedene am gleichen Abend.
29. Jan. 2024, 20:28 Ceilidh with Robin Wolf, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Loved it!!! So much fun
23. Nov. 2023, 23:31 Ballroom Crash Course with Matthias Mayer, Johanna Niessing & Robin Wolf, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Der Kurs ist wunderbar geeignet für Einsteiger, um gewisse Grundschritte und einfache Figuren zu lernen. In einer kurzen Zeit werden die Grundlagen auf eine gute Art beigebracht und direkt (nach einer kurzen Einführung) auch im Tanz mit einem Partner geübt.
20. Nov. 2023, 10:01 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Absolute must for someone who, like me, has always been a little fascinated by dancing but was too shy to try it in front of other, more skilled people. The level is generally about the same for all participants, so I felt it was easier to make mistakes without feeling ashamed, and the teachers were really nice, and offered wonderfully clear explanations both in general to everyone, and privately on request. Great course, and the price is unbeatable!
19. Nov. 2023, 12:38 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
Guter Kurs mit vielen Grundschritten verschiedener Tänze. Gut geeignet für den Start und Anfängerniveau.
17. Nov. 2023, 13:16 Ballroom Crash Course with Robin Wolf, Johanna Niessing & Matthias Mayer, Room: Hönggerberg, HXE
very good crash-course to learn and repeat different basic steps and figures, the teachers made this very pleasant and fun
