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 😊.

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.

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!

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.

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!).

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.

Toller Kurs um in die 4 angebotenen Tänze einzusteigen!

10 out of 10 would recommend.
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 ;)

A very fun course to learn a variety of new figures and make dancing discofox that much more interesting.

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.
