Gerhard und Walli Bayer

Gerhard vom Tanzstern in Salzburg, durfte in den lateinamerikanischen Tänzen im Einzelpaar und auch in der Formation internationale Turnierluft schnuppern. Doch auch als leidenschaftliche Tanzlehrer und Social-Tänzer „entstauben“ Walli und Gerhard mit Humor, solidem Wissen und Praxisnähe das Tanzen. Denn für beide gilt „Jeder kann tanzen!“.

Mit der entsprechenden Grundtechnik, freiem Denken und dem Verständnis von „Lead and Follow“ macht Tanzen auch dir noch mehr Spaß!“
