The TMOD also introduces the key roles and functionaries for that session. **Prepared Speeches:** A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to prepared speeches. Members working through various projects in the Toastmasters education program deliver speeches based on their chosen projects. Each speech is evaluated by a designated evaluator who provides feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. **Table Topics:** Table Topics is a segment where impromptu speaking skills are tested. The Table Topics Master presents a series of short, unprepared speaking challenges or questions, and members or guests are invited to come to the podium and give a brief, improvised response. **Evaluations:** Following the prepared speeches and Table Topics segment, evaluators provide constructive feedback to speakers. These evaluations focus on content, delivery, body language, and time management. The goal is to help speakers improve their speaking skills. **Reports and Functionary Roles:** The meeting may include various functionary roles, such as the Timer, Grammarian, Ah-Counter, and others, who report on their observations and contributions to the session. These roles help members improve their language and time management skills. **General Evaluator:** The General Evaluator provides an overall assessment of the meeting, highlighting what went well and offering suggestions for improvement. They may also evaluate the evaluators' performance. **Awards and Recognitions:** Toastmasters sessions often conclude with awards and recognitions, including the Best Speaker, Best Evaluator, and Best Table Topics Speaker. These awards encourage members to strive for excellence in their speaking and leadership abilities. **Closing:** The meeting concludes with closing remarks from the Toastmaster of the Day, who may express gratitude to participants and encourage them to continue their Toastmasters journey. **Networking and Socialising:** After the formal meeting, members and guests often have the opportunity to network, socialise, and discuss their experiences in a more relaxed setting.

Rumba Columbia (Free Trial Class)
Wed, Jul 8, 5:00 PM**Rumba Columbia is a powerful and sensitive dance. Through Columbia, dancers express their deepest emotions. It is an improvisational dance developed in Cuba, where each dancer enters alone and shows their individuality.** **It combines fast, intricate footwork with sharp shoulder movements, constantly shifting in tempo and cadence. But Columbia is about more than technique — it is about presence and dialogue. The dancer and the quinto (lead drum) interact in real time, creating a living conversation between rhythm and movement. 🥁** **Traditionally, Columbia was danced mostly by men, as it originated in shipyards and docks where they expressed strength, agility, and creativity. Today, rumberas also shape the dance, bringing new grace and power to it.** **Columbia remains a dance of individuality — every gesture, step, and accent is personal. It’s not about perfection, but about truth, rhythm, and connection.** **In this course, we do not learn pre-set choreographies. Instead, we focus on improvisation and help you develop your own style and expression within the dance. ✨** **📧 info@puntocubanoberlin.com** **📞 +49 155 100 966 28** 💛 What to Expect from a Free Trial Class If you choose to join a free trial class, please note that you will be joining an ongoing course rather than a class specifically designed for complete beginners. The purpose of the trial class is to give you the opportunity to get an impression of me as a teacher, my teaching style, and the atmosphere of the class. This is an open-level class and usually includes dancers with a wide range of experience, including some more advanced students. I therefore encourage you not to compare yourself too much to the people around you. Instead, focus on taking from the class what matches your current level and experience. It is perfectly fine if, for now, "all" you take home is the basic step of this beautiful dance. 😊 Rumba Columbia is a dance with many layers. Week by week, you will improve your body movement, technique, coordination, musicality, and build your own repertoire of movements and ideas. My goal is not for everyone to master the same material at the same speed, but for each dancer to continue growing from wherever they currently are. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and dancing with you! Yago
Rhetorik Training - Mut und Rede Toastmasters Neukölln
Mon, Jul 6, 4:15 PMLiebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes, Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen! Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung: www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung: kontakt@mut-und-rede.de https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

Free Trial Class: Salsa (Casino) II
Tue, Jul 7, 3:30 AM### **Casino II (B) 💃🕺** **🕠 5:30–6:30 PM** **📍 SaloNeo (Hagenauerstr. 11)** **🌤️ When the weather is good (warm enough, no rain), we will dance outdoors:** **👉 [https://maps.app.goo.gl/dey5G3RmseJAXnP4A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dey5G3RmseJAXnP4A)** **[acEw0w](https://book.stripe.com/4gMaEQ9Lwa3V0ZP91acEw0w)** **In this course, we will build on and review the topics from your Salsa Beginner classes.** **You should have already participated in one of our beginner courses or another basic Salsa Cubana (Casino) course.** **We will start exploring more complex movements and figures, while staying true to our philosophy:** **It’s not the number of figures that makes you a “good dancer” — it’s your communication with your partner and with the music.** **That’s exactly how this course is structured. 💛** **Contact us, if you want to join! 😊** **📧 info@puntocubanoberlin.com** **📞 +49 155 100 966 28** 💛 What to Expect from a Free Trial Class If you choose to join a free trial class, please note that you will be joining an ongoing course. The purpose of the trial class is twofold: it gives you the opportunity to get an impression of us as teachers, our teaching style, and the level of the course, while also giving us the opportunity to get to know you as a dancer. We believe that one of the advantages of joining a dance school is being able to trust the teachers' experience and criteria. During the trial class, we not only help you decide whether the course feels right for you, but we also assess whether it is the best fit for your current level and learning journey. Our goal is not simply to place you in a class, but to help you find your happy place within our dance community — the environment where you can learn most comfortably, progress steadily, and enjoy dancing the most. The final decision regarding the level is therefore ultimately ours. If we notice that you are struggling significantly with the material, we may ask you to observe the remainder of the class and recommend a different level instead. This is not meant to embarrass you or make you feel uncomfortable. Quite the opposite: it allows us to stay true to our values regarding technique, learning quality, and the comfort of the students who have been learning and progressing in the course over time. In the long run, you'll probably be grateful for being placed in the level that supports your growth and enjoyment the most. 😊 We are very much looking forward to meeting you and dancing with you! Yago, Helen, Pamela, Marion, Leo & Sylvaan
