BellySense: Eine Kombination von zwei uralten, effektiven Bewegungsmethoden, um Wohlsein, Gesundheit und Selbstbewusstsein zu steigern!
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.

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.

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.
