OUR FOUNDERS

Romea Bausch

Former Owner & Teacher
Romea devoted most of her life to dancing. She started dancing when she was 9 years old, professionalized her dancing and performing skills as a belly dancer and oriental dance teacher in her early twenties and discovered partner dancing and swing dancing a couple of years later.
She has a degree in Choreography and lead a successful show group for several years.
To deepen her understanding of dance and movement she studied Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis for four years in Berlin. This influences her way of teaching and the way she builds class content for all the classes at Tanzwolke. She is also the person to go to and ask if you have some injuries or %persistent pain while% during dancing that does persist.
She is also trained in Authentic Communication and Somatic Experiencing (Trauma Healing) which changed the way she is dealing with mental blocks and moments of overwhelm in her students.

David Knoll

Owner & Teacher
David started dancing in his early twenties. By then it was Argentine Tango. After some intense years with Tango, Vals, Milonga and Canyengue - Salsa Cubana came up next. Short after that he found the Lindy Hop and is hooked ever since. During some years he was dancing in a Lindy Hop showgroup as well.
Since then he added more dances from the Swing era to his curriculum: Charleston, Solo Jazz, Balboa and Blues and some newer dances such as West Coast Swing and Zouk.
Beside the dancing which is part of his life, he works as a self-employed private teacher and tutor. And occasionally he works as photographer.


Our Teachers

Céline Neubig

Céline is a young and motivated dance instructor who is teaching the levels 1 to 3.

 

Birgitta Palm

Birgitta grew up as a half-Swiss in Sweden but since the turn of the millennium has been living in Switzerland. In Sweden, she has collected the first dance experiences in Bugg, from swing fever but was infected only in Zurich. First, she has diligently trained boogie-woogie, then followed a few wild Salsa years until she Lindy Hop arrived. Their dance style is very playful and rich in elements from other dance forms. but in the classroom it is important to her that the "students" get a solid footing.

"I value the art of succeeding and challenge my followers. I have learned many dance classes that the leader is responsible for the character and that everything does not work out, his guilt is. That's really only half the story! In couple dance we are 50 to 50, involved a figure that works out, it feels smooth and rCound and that things liven up! It is of great concern to me that leaders and followers are equally supported and encouraged in our courses. Here, the fun is not too short, I promise!"

 

Mahele Bamert

Teacher
Mahele grew up with lots of music and movement. She played the piano, was trained in Dalcroz-Rhythmics and ballet.
She found her way to Lindy Hop through Ballroom Dancing, she loves Lindy Hop and enjoys deeply to pass this love on.

Pascal Willi

Teacher
Pascal is moved by rhythmical music as long as he can remember. As a teen he took his first dancing lessons, rarely missed a night at the local discotheque and got interested in jazz dancing. In the 90ies he discovered the Salsa and with it partner dancing. 2006 he finally found his great love, the Lindy Hop, and with it blues dancing and Balboa. Since 2011 he teaches Lindy Hop irregularly and passes on the fun of movement and his joy for music, rhythm and dancing.
