Amazing class!
18. Dec. 2024, 12:26 Teachers: Michael Zischg & Melody Greminger, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
War mega gut. Melody und Michael (und Sasha) sind sehr kompetent und haben offensichtlich viel Spass am Tanzen und am Unterrichten desgleichen. Diese Freude zeigt sich dann bei den Figuren und Tipps die sie zeigen und geben. Der Kurs war immer eine tolle Erfahrung und ich bin wöchentlich mit mehr Energie und Begeisterung nach hause gegangen als ich an den Kurstagen zuvor hatte.

Melody, Michi and Sascha are all lovely and approachable teachers. The course had a great atmosphere and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.

I was a total noob and yet i was able to learn some basics pretty fast thanks to them while also having some fun. Would defo recommend this course to anyone whos going to polyball but doesnt know how to dance
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, 13:10 Ballroom Crash Course with Johanna Niessing, Tim Gehrunger, Daniel Sparber & Maximilian Brandl, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
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!).
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!
29. Oct. 2024, 20:01 Ballroom 1 with Andrea Catellani & Daniel Sparber, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Super Einsteigerkurs für Anfänger! Wir wurden in gutem Tempo an die Tänze herangeführt. Man fühlte sich nie ins kalte Wasser geworfen.
03. June 2024, 18:51 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel hat von den Füssen bis zu den Hüften erklärt, was eigentlich passiert, wenn man sauber Rumba und Cha Cha Cha tanzt. Das war für mich eine sehr gute Wiederholung. Ich würde so einen Kurs für Jive oder Samba jederzeit auch besuchen.
27. May 2024, 23:46 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the Rumba and Cha Cha technique from the bottom up. Well-structured, easy to follow, lots of tips and information to take home and practice in front of a mirror for hours.
05. May 2024, 22:53 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel explained the focus of this lesson very nicely and gradually. Kicks and flicks are definitely a great addition to the Jive repertoire, loved it!
05. May 2024, 09:17 Ballroom Training - Basic with Daniel Sparber, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Daniel ist ein toller Tanzlehrer, er hat viel Erfahrung und kann beiden meisten Problemen mit hilfreichen Tipps weiterhelfen.

Heidi and Daniel are very passionate teachers and really motivated me and my partner to swing them legs!
27. Oct. 2023, 16:42 Ballroom 1 with Markus Wagner, Heidi Lee & Daniel Sparber, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
Nice course for begineers, the progression is a bit fast, but for sure is not boring. I would say a proper introduction to dancing.
