Resume

Regina and Michael met in 1987 while studying chemistry at University. Regina had started Round Dancing in 1987 and is a founding member of HIGH NOON RD Club in Cologne. Michael started dancing in 1989 and joined High Noon in 1990.  

Starting in 1990 Michael served as the assistant teacher for the Colonia Swingers RD Group. In 1994 he and Regina took over the intermediate RD Group and in the summer Michael passed his cuer examination and joined the European Caller and Teacher Association (ECTA). At the same time Regina and Michael began teaching for the HIGH NOON RD Club.

They are members of ICBDA since 1998 and made their début as clinicians the same year at the 22nd Convention in San Jose. Three years later they contributed "Love Ain´t Here Anymore" to the 25th anniversary back again in San Jose. On their third appearance in 2006 they had been asked to participate in promoting  Paso Doble and taught their intermediate Amparita Roca which became RAL ROQ in 2007. 2009 they contributed "Boom".

 

Since 1996 they are featured clinicians for the weekend RD Clinics in Eringerfeld, Germany, and took over the organization of the weekends in 2003.  In 2009 they moved the weekends to Sorpesee.

 

Since 2009 they are members of ROUNDALAB.

 

In 2010 they were featured teachers for the 50th Anniversary Gala of CRDA.

 

As members of TSG Leverkusen they take part in ballroom education with the German 10 dance professional Oliver Kästle.

 

Michael and Regina were married in 1995 and have a ten year old son. The strong commitment to each other expressed in their marriage and parenthood is also reflected in their philosophy of dancing.

In dancing, learning and teaching,

it takes two to tango.
