"Dancing is the art of a couple to move as freely as possible in the smallest possible space, without stepping on the feet of themselves and others!"

Ballroom dancing is the term used since the second half of the 20th century to describe the union of Latin American dances and standard dances. Standard dances (Slow Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Slowfox and Quickstep) are movement dances in which the dancers move around the room - more or less quickly, depending on the dance. Another characteristic of the standard dances is the body contact through which the dance partners remain connected without interruption. The Latin American dances of the World Dance Program (Samba, Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive), on the other hand, are danced more stationary and largely without physical contact.

Free dancing / Technique class:

A group class for all participants from F1 to F3 level. The programme is tailored to the participating couples.

The class is initially designed as free dancing to allow participants to repeat and consolidate steps. In addition, various exercises will be used to work on technique:

• Focus on the basics
• Individual improvement and precision of specific movements:
  • Footwork for greater stability and dynamism
  • Hip movements and their conscious application in Latin dances
  • Harmonious movement of the legs and arms
  • Correction and improvement of posture for stability and an elegant presence
  • More precise lifting and lowering in standard dances 

dancing circle: 

• Requirement: Confident mastery of the figures of the F1 level (about level bronze-silver at ADTV dance schools)
• course content: Group course for all levels (from F1) during the semester break. The program is individually tailored to the participants. Course level is adapted according to the level of knowledge.

Since the courses build on each other, it is not possible to skip a course! The course instructors will be happy to advise you at the end of each semester about a possible change to a higher course form. If you want to change to a higher level, you can use the table above as a guide to find a course that suits your dance level. In the basic courses, F1, F2 and F3, registration is only possible in pairs; if you register as a couple for the single registration basic course, we would like to point out that due to the course structure, the dance partner will be changed regularly in the course. In order to preserve the floor of the room, we recommend that you bring clean, changeable shoes on which you can dance comfortably (for example, dance shoes or shoes with leather soles).

Important! The booking of a course in which the registration is "required in pairs" is made by one person also for the dance partner, so that the amount for the dance couple is completely debited from one person. The indicated prices refer to the booking of one person.
Due to the SEPA procedure, it is generally the case that first ONE booking is deducted from the account, then the other for another course, or the dance partner!
