Getting Started

Hello and Welcome to Tanzquotient. This page is meant to give you an overview, if you're just getting started as an active member. There is no claim to completeness.

Who to ask?

Usually, you'll get assigned one board member as contact person. You can ask them anything (wink)

Nevertheless, it sometimes makes more sense to ask:

As a fallback, you can always ask the current co-presidents of Tanzquotient (praesident@tanzquotient.org).

Free Courses

As an active member, you benefit from (some) free dance courses.

How many free courses do I get?

  • I helped at some events: As a rule of thumb, you can get one voucher for helping at us twice
  • I am teaching courses: You get one course for free for each period you were teaching (this usually means 2 free courses / semester)
  • I am a team member: One course each period (i.e. 2 free courses / semester)
  • I am a board member: You can take as many free courses as you like (within reason)

N.B. You can always ask a board member to get an additional course for free. We will then decide separately for each request.

How to get your free course?

  1. Ask any board member to give you a voucher for a dance course
  2. Sign up regularly through the website
  3. Once your subscription is confirmed, you will get an email telling you to pay the course
  4. Click the link (in the email, or on the website under "My Courses") to redeem your voucher
