Description


About this course

In this training, we revisit the dances from the Ballroom courses focusing on how to dance them more nicely in terms of look, feel, and musicality. The training will help you on your way towards looking like a pro on the dance floor. You will learn to dance the known basic figures effortlessly and discover body movements that create the typical character of the dances, which will facilitate learning more complex figures in the future. The training also covers the topic of lead and follow to create a smooth experience within the couple so that both partners can enjoy the dance.

In general, we aim for a balanced leader / follower turnout, so that partnering topics can be better practised. Nevertheless, we encourage signing up even if you don't have a partner. We will not match single sign-ups into couples, and the teachers will make adjustments based on the leader / follower turnouts.

Requirements

You should be familiar with the dance taught at the lesson and mentioned in the description.

In general we recommend this course to everyone who has been dancing for up to 1.5 years, i.e. if you are taking Ballroom 1 to 6 at the moment. If you already have more experience, consider checking out our Advanced Ballroom Training for Standard or Latin.

Das Ballroom Training ist eine super Möglichkeit, die eigene Technik beim Tanzen zu verbessern! Jan und Lena haben den Kurs sehr angenehm gestaltet und tolles Feedback gegeben. Gerne wieder!

It is a very beginner friendly training and a safe space to ask question and gain new fancy dancefloor skills. I recommend checking the Group in the TQ community for the topic, I guess it could be hard, if you don't know the dance at all. But try it yourself - it has really helped me improve my technique!

A very good opportunity to refine your technique ;)
18. July 2026, 11:31 Teachers: Jennifer To & Jan Ringling, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Jan and Jenny gave very clear instructions and provided individual feedback. They also made sure we all were confortable and that we all went home without questions :)

Die Lehrer Lisa und Maximilian waren sehr hilfsbereit und gaben allen Paaren Feedback! Ich habe den Kurs sehr genossen und viel gelernt! Danke!
13. March 2026, 18:32 Teachers: 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!
06. Feb. 2026, 21:04 Teachers: Maximilian Brandl, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Very clear explanations and answered all questions! Provided examples both visually and verbally, and feedback for each couple during practice.

Reviews the teachers got for other courses

29. Oct. 2026, 00:06 Ballroom 6 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Lena is always very entertaining and explains steps patiently even for the 5th time in a row. Sasha seems to be a Profi. I suspect he is a Profi. Thanks for the great course both of you!
28. Oct. 2026, 23:19 Ballroom 7 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Very cool course for everyone wanting to extend their figure repertoire as well as their technique! Lena and Sascha are very knowledgeable and great teachers :)
28. Oct. 2026, 10:47 Ballroom 7 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Great course with amazing figures, very nice continuation of other courses. Teachers are super helpful and clearly care a lot about the dances.
27. Oct. 2026, 18:08 Ballroom 7 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
If you started to feel addicted to dancing - indulge and visit another course to learn fancy new figures to showcase during OD ;)
27. Oct. 2026, 17:09 Ballroom 6 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
If you feel open dancing is too boring, consider learning new cool figures and improve your technique = much more fun at OD ;)
27. Oct. 2026, 12:48 Ballroom 7 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Sehr gute Tanzlehrer. Fachlich/technisch kompetent. Vielfältige didaktische Methoden. Gehen auch auf individuelle Bedürfnisse ein.
27. Oct. 2026, 08:34 Ballroom 7 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Lena and Sascha combine extensive dancing knowledge with beautiful (although complex) figures and still manage to make the course super fun.
26. Oct. 2026, 23:39 Ballroom 7 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon

Sascha and Lena are amazing teachers, they are very knowledgeable and I feel their strong suit is on technique. Thanks to this I feel like I improved a lot and can’t wait for the next one.
26. May 2026, 14:15 Ballroom 1 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Der Kurs hat mir voll gut gefallen, ich habe einiges gelernt. Vielen Dank an euch Lena und Sascha! Man merkt richtig eure Begeisterung fürs Tanzen. Möchte auch irgendwann so gut tanzen können wie ihr :)
18. May 2026, 23:15 Ballroom 1 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
super fun, wish the course was longer because it felt like it ended so quickly
18. May 2026, 22:34 Ballroom 6 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Amazing course, one of the best I've done, the teachers had great vibe and were very professional, but also had time to really focus on giving personal feedback. Also loved the pace, it really felt like we were constantly learning, but the second everyone would get it we would switch and do something new/more complicated, so I really felt like we were using the time to the maximum without just patching the course to fill the hour. Overall amazing teachers and I would totally recommend the course
18. May 2026, 22:07 Ballroom 1 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Marvellous course. Incredibly passionate and cheerful teachers. They also always adapted their style for the needs of the students. I cannot imagine living without ever experiencing this atmosphere.
18. May 2026, 21:00 Ballroom 1 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon

Sascha and Lena give a good balance in drilling techniques and introducing fun new figures. Lots of opportunities to ask them to show things again and ask questions.
01. April 2026, 12:28 Ballroom 6 with Lena Bartl & Sascha Pucillo, Room: ETH Zentrum, Alumni-Pavillon
Lena and Sascha were a great team and fantastic teachers. The classes were a lot of fun. They did everything to accommodate the different levels of the participants and gave great feedback. I would choose them anytime again and I look forward to Ballroom7 ;)

01. Dec. 2024, 17:22 Ballroom Crash Course with Lena Bartl & Michael Zischg, Room: Hönggerberg, ASVZ Arena 3
Ein tolles Angebot, super Lehrer und Kurse, sehr empfehlenswert!
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, 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
