The team consists of three permanent dance teachers: all of them qualified through dance tournaments and years of pedagogical practice.

They ensure excellent teaching and are also at your side with words and deeds.

Sonja Merten & Philipp Lehmann

Sonja found dancing late, but no less enjoyable. In 2009 she was enthusiastic about it and various dance courses followed. As a dance partner of Philipp, she has been part of the AStA dance group group since 2016.

Favorite dances: slow waltz, cha – cha – cha
Lesson times: Wednesdays 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Philipp also found his way onto the parquet late in 2000. At first it was only supposed to be a beginner’s course, but he quickly discovered that it wasn’t just this one. Formation appearances, shows and individual tournaments followed.

In 2009 he discovered the love of passing on what he had learned and has been a dance teacher at the AStA dance group ever since.

Favorite dances: Quickstep, Samba and Charleston
Lesson times: Wednesdays 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
