Zoltan is undoubtedly the best dance teacher I have ever met. As a professional dancer Zoltan has an incredible ability to teach – with an extensive knowledge, patience and attention to detail.
I have been dancing with Zoltan for over two years and during that time have progressed from a complete beginner to now being able to dance gold level figures in both Latin and Ballroom dancing. I have not only learnt the figures but how to technically execute them and have learnt complicated and enjoyable. routines as well as being able to perform.
Whether you want to just dance for fun or to beco— Alison Macmillan
Zoltan is a phenomenal dancer – you can tell that from his biography, and when you meet him, his every move is elegant. He is also an outstanding teacher: Positive, encouraging, patient yet challenging, and a kind person to be around. In my first few lessons in Latin and Ballroom dance, I've already learned more than I could have imagined, not only regarding steps and figures but also regarding technique. I am becoming more confident and find great fun and happiness in dancing during the lessons and outside of lessons. I cannot recommend Zoltan as a teacher enough.— Amelie Berz

I am just so grateful to have a teacher like him and could honestly not recommend him enough.— Kamile Liubyte

Not only do they shine on the dance floor but both of them are also amazing teachers. They are able to communicate very clearly, they are very motivating and not a single complaint about their teaching can be made.— Lukas Labanok
