2025 marks a major milestone for me and our dance studio: 10 years of movement, joy, and connection! When I took over the studio a decade ago, it was already a thriving space for dancers. My vision was to honour its success while bringing a fresh perspective—infusing more art, strengthening the sense of community, and expanding our offerings. The journey has been transformative in ways I could never have imagined.
Throughout this year, I want to take you behind the scenes of our 10-year story. We’ll reflect on where it all began, celebrate the incredible community we’ve built, and share some fun surprises along the way.
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.

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.
Use online learning as a portal to new dance technique, ideas and for additional practice. See online classes as a bonus rather than a replacement for your studio experience and enjoy the best of both worlds! ZeoT Zürich is currently offering 9 online classes, streamed live from the lessons in our studio.
Maybe you’ve been engrossed in something you’re writing or creating and time flies by without you even noticing? Then you’ve been in that magical state of flow. Movement has always been a way into a meditative state for me. As I begin to focus on my breath, the contact with the floor, the tension and release in my body, everything around me appears to quieten down. My focus turns inwards and often times I enter a state known as ‘flow’…
Dancing offers valuable leverage over the ageing process as it can increase muscle strength, enhance bone health and improve flexibility and balance. Unfortunately as we age, collagen decline has serious consequences for dancers: skeletal muscle fibres decrease in mass, tolerance for exercise decreases and there are higher rates of fatigue and an impaired ability to recover from injuries. The good news is that we can boost our collagen stores naturally. But most of us find it hard to eat large enough quantities of collagen-rich foods, such as animal skin and bones, to make an impact. Read on to find out about an easy and convenient way to supplement your collagen and ensure your dancing days never end!
