BELLY DANCE COURSES IN ZÜRICH
Discover oriental dance at our studio in Zürich Wipkingen, for women of every age, whether you're just starting out or have been dancing for a while. Our next course period runs from 24 August to 18 October 2026, secure your place now and dance with us!
HOW IT WORKS ▼
In our ongoing belly dance courses (levels A to M), we learn a new choreography on a new theme each course period. A course period lasts 8 weeks, and there are 6 course periods a year. The themes reflect the diversity of oriental dance, with choreographies set to oriental pop, drum solo, classical oriental, and oriental folklore. All courses of the same level dance the same choreography, so you can easily catch up a missed class in another course without falling behind.
In all ongoing courses (except introductory courses and workshops), you stay automatically enrolled for the next course period, unless you cancel up to 21 days before the end of the current one.
You'll find information on the subscription, the catch-up system, and our terms and conditions here.
At ZeoT, you'll find a diverse team of teachers, bright, spacious studios, and a timetable that leaves nothing to be desired.
Come and dance with us in a free trial lesson – put a smile on your hips!

TIMETABLE ▼
ABO ▼
If you'd like to attend more than one dance course per week, the ZeoT Abo is perfect for you!
Register for two ongoing courses via the registration form, and you can attend as many ongoing courses as you like without pre-registration. (For administrative reasons, you're registered for two courses.) Excluded from this are the fully booked courses marked on the timetable, unless you are registered for that course with the Abo.
The Abo is valid for one course period; missed lessons cannot be made up in the following period.
We offer all dancers with a Legi the Abo for CHF 450 (instead of CHF 490).
A BEGINNER ▼
If you've completed an introductory course with us or already know the basic movements, you're ready for the beginner course.
In A, you revisit and practise the basic movements and the movements built from them, and add further isolations and steps. Dance accessories like veil and cane come in too, and you'll get to know the basic oriental rhythms.
As a beginner, you can also join our Shimmy and Oriental Dance Technique classes (open level, without choreography).
