Viennese Waltz Workshop for Beginner Couples

We are completely novice dancers so not very fit and not much experience. The studio where this is hosted is pretty warm so we were kinda sweaty and uncomfortable. The dance itself is only a few basic steps but there’s a lot more to it with your posture, your form, where to touch your partner, how far apart to be, etc. We were able to get a video at the end and I felt pretty accomplished — but it was a lot of work and not our favorite experience. The studio gives you access to videos and music for after your class.

A wonderful and personal experience - whether you’ve never danced as a couple or want to learn more about the waltz culture and work on your technique, it was perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Viennese waltz workshop led by Aga and her assistant Nico! Aga’s teaching philosophy and style makes learning Viennese waltz very accessible for anyone, regardless of one’s level of prior ballroom experience. Aga carefully guided us step by step (literally!) through the fundamentals and made sure that the learning process was fun and engaging for all. She continually provided encouragement and individualized attention to each couple throughout the workshop. We left the workshop eager to learn more and to stay connected through the “Waltz Club” online community, which anyone completing this workshop can join.

This is a unique introduction to Vienna's culture. My husband and I both have two left feet, and we've envied people who can dance gracefully. So I was sceptical when I signed up for this waltz lesson. It amazed us when we actually managed to dance to the iconic 'Blue Danube' at the end of the session, including performing some intimidating twirls. All the credit for this goes to Aga, who is a wonderful and patient teacher, breaking the routine down into simple steps which we could understand and follow. To then put that into action and dance was like going back in time and felt exhilarating. If you ever have the opportunity to try the Viennese waltz in its city of birth, go for it!

A great experience to learn the Viennese waltz in Vienna. Aga was a great teacher and the location made the whole experience even more special

Absolutely loved this. Very well organised and presented/taught in a lovely dance school/ballroom Hands on help, very well paced, wonderful music and a very good atmosphere. Felt like a very Viennese thing to do - excellent value and would highly recommend. It’s a warm work - layer dress if going in winter and T-shirt recommended!

Fantastic experience and a wonderful tutor. We very much enjoyed the session and gave us the buzz to want to explore the dance further.

While visiting Vienna, one must waltz! But not knowing how is a serious draw back. The dance school environment and patient instructor were perfect for getting us started, and dancing the Blue Danube.

Great experience. Learned a lot and was very funny. The unit flew by as if in flight. English was great and very joyful teacher.

My husband and I were super clumsy and the instructor was so kind to us. It was a wonderful beginner class.
