Zeitlupe" magazine accompanies Kurt & Heide-Maria

The current Swiss Senior IV Standard Champions, Kurt Rechsteiner and Heide-Maria Schäfer, are at the centre of a multi-page dance report in "Zeitlupe, the magazine for the best years". The well-researched focus shows readers how beneficial dancing is for the health of older people and the positive effects Kurt and Heide-Maria experience thanks to their passion. Author Fabian Rottmeier also refers to various scientific studies and allows Christina Thurner, a Bernese professor of dance science, to have her say.
