Generally, it's not necessary to bring a specific dance partner. The courses are structured so that you can dance with other participants, and we'll rotate throughout the class. I do this because it increases the learning effect, reduces anxiety, and intensifies social connection.

Almost all of my classes are accessible even without prior experience. My open teaching style always offers movement stimuli with variations, meaning you can try out what's possible for you without any pressure to perform.

All my offerings can also be booked in-house. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to book me for team training, team building, a workshop weekend, or similar. I would be happy to put together a customized program based on your budget.

The focus of my offerings is on experiences that intensify and improve dance skills: rhythm, creativity, expressiveness and improvisation skills, connection to oneself and others, and the development of one's own style. Therefore, I don't tend to learn specific dances or choreographies.

With TanzBildung, I always strive to provide you with a safe space to expand your comfort zone and boundaries, as well as to experience sensual and intimate dance encounters. To facilitate these experiences in a safe environment, I ask all participants to behave mindfully and respectfully at my events. My Gentlemen's Code of Conduct stands for polite, respectful, and courteous behavior towards yourself and others:

I would like to be able to share photos and videos from my TanzBildung events with the dance community. Of course, I'll do my best to show everyone at their best (you can contact me at any time if you'd like to have an image or video removed!). I want to showcase the positive impact of my events, and this is reflected in my media choices. This is also to your benefit: You and everyone else will receive wonderful memories of all the people you danced with. By registering, you agree to the following:

If you do not agree to these rules upon registration (and do not agree to the registration conditions), you will not be able to participate in TanzBildung events. The information in the program is subject to change. Events or program items may be changed or canceled due to weather, illness, or external circumstances. Please do not take photos or videos in general without contacting TanzBildung to ensure that TanzBildung adheres to its data protection principles. Please do not record classes without asking the instructors and participants. Filming and photographing social dances and free training is generally permitted – but without flash! You may also film other parts of the events – but please ask the people you wish to film for permission. Tickets are non-refundable. Tickets are transferable to another person with confirmation from the organizer. Instructions and confirmation regarding ticket transfers can be obtained from TanzBildung (kontakt@tanzbildung.info). Smoking is prohibited indoors. There are designated smoking areas outside the buildings; please only use these areas for smoking. TanzBildung cannot accept responsibility for your valuables, property, or any possible bodily injury. At dance events, there is always a risk of injury; dancing during our event is your own responsibility and decision. Do your best to be safe—for yourself and others! Please only enter the classrooms wearing suitable indoor shoes; high heels or shoes that could stain the floor are not permitted. Please note that you are responsible for any damage caused by wearing unsuitable footwear. Please be careful not to bring wet dirt into the classrooms. Lost and found items will be kept for four weeks after the event. After that, any remaining items will be disposed of or donated to charity. The personal information you provide during registration will not be shared with third parties under any circumstances, except for use in documents and programs shared (within the event organization). Your data will be stored on computers, hard drives, and servers owned or used by the event organizers and TanzBildung staff. The organizers will contact you solely in connection with the event. Direct contact will primarily be via email, as we will provide you with relevant information about the event and follow up on your registration. Please ensure you add our email (kontakt@tanzbildung) to your whitelist and/or personal address book so our emails do not end up in your spam filter. The organizers cannot be held responsible for the integrity and privacy of email messages, as they are relayed by email servers across the internet. If we cannot reach you by email, we may send you text messages or call you if we need information or believe you have missed an important event-related email. TanzBildung is directed by Friederike Reif. Individual tasks may be delegated to freelance staff.
