I really enjoyed the Bachata 1 course! By the end of it, I was able to (basic) dance through full songs, which felt amazing. The classes strike a great balance between learning and practicing. For more practicing, which is always needed, beginner's social events are a great opportunity. The teachers are incredibly patient, happy to answer all questions, and willing to repeat steps as many times as needed. The course also sets a perfect foundation for continuing to Bachata 2. Highly recommend to anyone starting their bachata journey!

Alex and Eve explain everything nicely, with jokes and cheer. In total was really cool even when it was too hot outside for bachata

The course was amazing. Eveline and Alex did an amazing job showing us all the figures in detail and also listened to every doubts very patiently. This course motivated me to continue dancing even more.

Fantastische Price-to-Performance ratio und ein super Einstieg ins Bachata. Eveline und Alex versuchen den Kurs für alle so angenehm, unterhaltungsvoll und lehrreich wie möglich zu gestalten und vermitteln die Inhalte gekonnt. Kann den Kurs aus vollster Überzeugung weiterempfehlen!

Very, very fun course with a quick pace without being overwhelming. Heike and Nicolas showed us a lot of fun figures and the very often and quick partner changes keep the atmosphere lighthearted. Big recommendation!

Starting with no previous dancing experience and showing up without a partner, I was quite hesitant at the beginning. However, Alex and Eveline created a nice environment right away and made the learning process fun and rewarding. With its slower rhythm, Bachata 1 lets you get the basics fast and start dancing quickly, enjoying the classes from day 1 and building up to more complex moves.

One of the best TQ classes I have taken so far. The pacing was great, the instructions were clear, and great energy all around.

I really liked the course. Many thanks! I liked how we started and the figures of choice. It was perfect for beginners and people with some Salsa dancing experience. The course was fun!

Anna and Ruben were very funny and knowledgeable. They had a good rhythm, so that most people could catch the steps but they didn
