These courses provide an insight into international standard and Latin American dances. Three courses are offered, which can be categorised at different levels - the prerequisite for participation is a confident and confident mastery of the figures from the previous courses (see table).

Beginners:
In this course, the ballroom dances Slow Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Samba, Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Jive and Discofox as well as the first sequences of figures are taught so that participants can soon take part in their first ball or dance party. No previous knowledge is necessary. This course is offered with and without rotation (see above).

Intermediate level:
Building on the knowledge of the beginners' course, new figures are learnt. The slow foxtrot and paso doble dances are added. The first technical concepts are also introduced. To take part in this course, you must be able to master all the basic steps and figures from the beginners' course (see table) with confidence and a good sense of rhythm! Please note that our beginners' course programme is not the same as the basic courses offered by dance schools! If you do not have any previous knowledge, participation is only possible by prior arrangement!

Advanced dancers:
Experienced dancers and recent graduates of the intermediate course are welcome to expand their individual skills. The focus is on increasing the fun of dancing with your knowledge. The focus is not only on figure sequences, but rather on improvisation with existing modules and the development of musicality and dance technique.  Participants should be confident with the beat and have an advanced understanding of Standard and Latin American dances. Participation in this course requires a confident and confident command of all figures from the previous courses!

Free Dancing

In free dancing, the joy of dancing, movement and music should be in the foreground. Learned dance steps can be tried out and practised here.
No new dance steps are taught.
Participants can support each other and show new figures.
Contacts can be made and knowledge exchanged across the existing dance courses.

All levels of dancers are welcome, from those who have just completed their first class to experienced dancers.
It is this heterogeneity that makes free dancing so interesting.
The dances played are adapted to the knowledge of the participants so that as many as possible can benefit from them.
Free dancing is also a good way to make up for missed classes and to exchange ideas about the material from the last class.

Dancing is not only learnt in the classes, internalise the known steps and techniques and bring them into your motor memory.
