“Die Gemeinschaft hier ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Es ist inspirierend und erhebend, mit Frauen unterschiedlichster Hintergründe gemeinsam die Freude an Musik und Bewegung zu teilen. Ausserdem wird hier der kulturelle Aspekt des Tanzes gewürdigt, und ich habe viel über die Ursprünge dieser faszinierenden Kunstform erfahren.”

ALCHEMY: ZeoT’s 2025 Bellydance Show Ignites Transformation on Stage
ALCHEMY: ZeoT’s 2025 Bellydance Show Ignites Transformation on Stage

From the bubbling of ideas to the burning away of the past, our latest production, ALCHEMY, invited the audience into a world where movement becomes magic.

At ZeoT Zürich, we believe belly dance is more than choreography. It’s a transformational journey. This year’s show, held on Saturday, June 14th, 2025, at Aula Räimbühl, was an artistic exploration of change, both chemical and emotional. Inspired by alchemical processes, each piece reflected personal and collective transformation, inviting dancers and viewers alike to witness the beauty of becoming.

Whether it’s your first show or your tenth, when you dance with us, you become part of something bigger. A community that lifts, evolves, and inspires.

Mein Weg durch die Dunkelheit: Heilung und Selbstakzeptanz durch Bauchtanz
Mein Weg durch die Dunkelheit: Heilung und Selbstakzeptanz durch Bauchtanz

Was kann helfen, wenn man sich selbst nicht mehr spürt? Wenn Depression den Alltag beschwert und Selbstzweifel überwiegen? Für Isabel, eine Schülerin der ZeoT Tanzschule, wurde der Bauchtanz zur Antwort. In diesem ehrlichen und berührenden Erfahrungsbericht erzählt sie, wie Bewegung ihr half, ihren Körper neu zu entdecken, Selbstvertrauen aufzubauen und liebevoller mit sich selbst umzugehen. Es ist eine Geschichte über Körperliebe, Heilung und die Kraft einer unterstützenden Tanzgemeinschaft.

Wir sind sehr dankbar für Isabels Mut, ihre Geschichte zu erzählen.

ALCHEMY: A Bellydance Journey of Change and Connection in Zürich
ALCHEMY: A Bellydance Journey of Change and Connection in Zürich

At ZeoT Zürich, we believe bellydance is more than movement—it's a transformational journey. This year's show, ALCHEMY, on June the 14th 2025, is an artistic exploration of change, both chemical and emotional, inspired by the processes of transformation found in chemistry. From the bubbling of ideas to the burning away of the past, ALCHEMY invites you into a world where movement becomes magic.

Here in Zürich, we bring together dancers from all walks of life—expats, locals, professionals, and beginners—who all share one thing: a desire to express themselves through the empowering language of bellydance.

Below, we explore four key processes of alchemy and chemistry, each one reflecting a dancer’s path of self-discovery, change, and growth.

MORE THAN BELLY DANCE: 10 THINGS YOU (PROBABLY) DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MY JOURNEY TO ZEOT ZÜRICH
MORE THAN BELLY DANCE: 10 THINGS YOU (PROBABLY) DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MY JOURNEY TO ZEOT ZÜRICH

As part of celebrating 10 years at ZeoT, I’m sharing a little behind-the-scenes look at who I am and who I was before ZeoT. My mission to bring art into belly dance and help women discover confidence through movement is the result of many different experiences. If I were a cake, I’d be a multi-tiered wedding cake, layered with sponge, cream, and icing, and stacked with stories. The ten years I’ve been running my business is only one slice of the cake—just one layer in the many tiers of my life. Some steps have been solid, others surprising, but each has led me to where I am today. So, here’s a little slice for you.

Celebrating 10 Years Since Taking Over the ZeoT Zürich Studio
Celebrating 10 Years Since Taking Over the ZeoT Zürich Studio

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.

Belly Dancing Unveiled: The Hidden Benefits for Your Body and Beyond
Belly Dancing Unveiled: The Hidden Benefits for Your Body and Beyond

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.

Tips for belly dance with a veil
Tips for belly dance with a veil

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.
