Modern manners, contemporary etiquette, appropriate behaviour for every situation.

Taster lesson: Even before the course begins, you have the opportunity to attend a free, no-obligation taster lesson. The taster lessons take place from Monday, 7 to Saturday, 12 September, every day at 6 pm. We look forward to welcoming you to our dance school soon!

Course programme: Refine your dancing skills with additional figures, improved technique, and the latest teaching methods.

Bonus weeks: Before the official course start in the week of 21 September, our advanced youth courses include two bonus weeks to revise the steps learned the previous year. This means all Silver/Gold, Gold Star and Elmayer Cercle courses begin as early as the week starting 7 September!

We want you to feel just as comfortable with us as all other course participants; therefore, please observe our dress code.

• Ladies: blouse/skirt, dress, suit, or trouser suit.

• Gentlemen: suit or jacket-and-trousers combination, tie (or bow tie) and white cotton gloves.

Jeans and shoes that could damage the parquet floor (heavy soles, metal applications) are not permitted. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone not suitably dressed.

Every Sunday, both during term time and in the holidays, Elmayer offers practice courses for advanced students. In a relaxed atmosphere, meet new friends, improve your dancing, ask the dance teachers present for advice at any time on sequences, figures and technique – and experience the “Fledermaus Quadrille” with us!
