Daniel and Andrea are excellent teachers, i can only recommend. Their clear and step by step explanations are very easy to follow.
27. May 2025, 16:26 Teachers: Daniel Sparber & Andrea Catellani, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
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.

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.

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.

31. March 2026, 15:53 Ballroom 7 with Jennifer To & Jan Ringling, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Jenny and Jan did a splendid job of showing off the figures and teaching them to us! I felt like your selection of figures gave a quite even playing field for everybody and everyone could learn something new. I could really take away so many new things that I will be trying out at the spring ball! 💃🏼🕺
13. March 2026, 18:32 Ballroom Training with Jennifer To & Jan Ringling, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Jenny & Jan did a great job explaining Jive technique and gave a lot of individual feedback. I liked how we had enough time to focus on each individual point rather than having to combine everything quickly. Thanks!
17. Feb. 2026, 11:02 Ballroom 1 with Jennifer To & Jan Ringling, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
Jenny und Jan sind ein Super-Duo, dem man die gemeinsamen Tanzstunden anmerkt. Sie ergänzen sich gegenseitig super und sind für Ballroom 1 sehr geeignet. Sie sind sehr zugänglich, nehmen die Scheu für Neubeginnende und fordern auch immer wieder auf Fragen zu stellen. Ich würde auf jeden Fall weitere Tanzkurse bei ihnen besuchen.
13. Feb. 2026, 09:36 Ballroom 1 with Jennifer To & Jan Ringling, Room: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
