Why do so many doctors, osteopaths, gynaecologists, and physiotherapists recommend belly dancing, even without having attended a single class? Perhaps it’s because they intuitively understand that belly dancing strengthens the body’s inner musculature. Rachida Aharrat dives into the anatomy of bellydance to unveil the benefits for your body.
Der Kosmos tanzt: Planeten kreisen und Sterne entstehen. Am weiten Nachthimmel suchen die Menschen Sternbilder und träumen von fernen Welten.

One of our favourite accessories to dance with is the veil, the theme of our A and A/M choreographies in our next course period (KP2) starting March 4th 2024. Veils can be used to frame movements or become an extension of the dancer’s body. Dynamic, dramatic or dreamy, the movement fills the space around the dancer in colour and shape, as the veil adds a new dimension to the performance.
It’s hard to believe that we’ve already danced a whole year in our new studio in Wipkingen. It’s time to look back and celebrate how we achieved our crowdfunding goal to help fund building work and how we’ve filled the space this year with energy, creativity and fun! The new ZeoT dance studio is more than a dance school; it’s a beautiful space for our community to meet, dance, be creative and feel at home.

We all have our own aromatic memories. The smokiness of smouldering embers, the leathery smell of new shoes, the zest of juicy lemons and mandarins, or the pavement after a summer rain storm trigger unique and individual remembrances. A perfume is like a liquid memory or emotion, mute and difficult to describe with words alone.
In June 2021 we will be presenting our new dance production, PARFUM. Using the structure of Michael Edwards’ ‘Fragrance Wheel’ the performance will move through various scent families and dancers will bring to life the memories evoked by these fragrances.
Read on to find out how you can take part in PARFUM in June 2021.
