Very much recommended Eveline and Alexandre are the best!

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!

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.

Super Kurs zum Einsteigen. Es hat mir gut gefallen :)

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!

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!

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

31. July 2025, 11:09 Bachata 3 with Alexandre Elsig & Eveline Wilden, Room: ETH Zentrum, CAB, food&lab
Alex and Eveline make a fantastic and entertaining team! The course was well-organized and delivered in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. In this course, I felt like I was able to regularly hit more complex (and thus way cooler) figures on time and that feeling is just the best :D

A life-changing experience - in the good sense 😘 After having completed Bachata 3 with Eveline and Alex, I finally felt skilled enough to dance Bachata with strangers at the Bürkliplatz / Schiffsteg. Thank you so much!

18. July 2025, 15:21 Bachata 2 with Alexandre Elsig & Eveline Wilden, Room: UZH Irchel, Y25-H-92
Very nice continuation to bachata 1. Totally recommended
03. June 2025, 17:57 Bachata 2 with Eveline Wilden & Alexandre Elsig, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-03
After getting the basics in the first course, Bachata 2 aims to add more figures to your repertoire and improve musicality. The vibe is, as always, very nice and positive, and the teachers provide great feedback to improve personally. I would definitely recommend taking this course after Bachata 1, as it will greatly help to set a solid foundation to build upon in the next classes.

This course is really worth taking. We went through more advanced moves, building on the fundamentals learnt in Bachata 1. Great teachers and overall experience.
