Drop in, book a card, or come once and never again. The timetable is the same every week so you can build a habit around it.
Filter by what you're after. Today's column is marked. Term-time and holiday changes are posted on @auch.zh.
Written for the person deciding on a tram, not for people who already know the vocabulary.
Warm-up on the floor, travelling across the room, then a phrase you learn in pieces and run full out at the end. It is the class where most people arrive not knowing what they are doing and leave sweaty and slightly surprised.
The Wednesday advanced slot assumes you can pick up a phrase in two runs. Everything else is genuinely open.
Groove first, choreography second. Monday basics builds the bounce and the rock, Thursday commercial gives you a routine to film if you want one, Friday breaking is toprock, footwork and whichever freeze your wrists agree to.
Saturday open is the one to bring a friend to. It ends in a cypher and nobody is obliged to enter it.
Amapiano, azonto, ndombolo and whatever Christian came back from Douala with. Tuesday is the choreography class, Saturday Afro Fit is the same energy with the counting replaced by cardio.
Loud, fast, and the one class where being slightly behind is part of the sound.
Sharp, performative, unapologetically for the camera. Jazz funk on Tuesday, heels on Friday evening as the week's exhale.
Heels is open to every gender and every heel height, including none. Trainers are a legitimate choice and roughly a third of the room makes it.
The quiet half of the timetable. Breath dance is guided movement with the lights down and no counting: closer to a practice than a class. Hatha is a slow, held, unfussy sequence. Pilates is mat work aimed at the parts dancing keeps asking for.
These are the classes people book when they think they are not a dancer. Most of them stay.
Lunchtime, sixty minutes, no phrase to learn. One question per week worked through on the floor: how weight arrives, how a spiral carries, what happens if you refuse to use your hands.
Anya runs it out of the dance-film work, so it is often filmed. You can always say no and the camera goes off.
Musical theatre in three age bands: 5 to 7, 7 to 10, 10 to 13. Singing counts, acting counts, falling over counts. Every group performs twice a year on the studio's own stage, with no ticket price for family.
Parents can wait in the front room. There is coffee and it is usually fine.
The room, the speakers, no teacher, no fee. Thursday late and Sunday afternoon. Come to practise something from class, work on your own piece, or just use a sprung floor for an hour because your flat does not have one.
The only rule is that you share the space. If four people want the mirror wall, four people get twenty minutes each.
All prices in Swiss francs, all taxes included, no joining fee and no minimum term. Cards are valid across every class in the timetable.
Any class in the timetable, once, on the house. Tell us you're coming so the teacher can look out for you.

Four places in every single class are pay-what-you-can, including zero. You do not have to explain yourself, prove anything, or ask in front of other people. Write to us once and it is set up on your name.
Then take Monday hip-hop basics, Tuesday breath dance, or any class marked all levels. Arrive ten minutes early, tell the teacher it's your first time, and you will be given the version of everything that works from a standing start.
Not for drop-ins. Kids classes and workshops are booked in advance because the groups are capped. If a class fills up we post it on Instagram the same morning.
English by default, because that is what the room usually shares. German, Ukrainian and French happen when everyone present speaks them. Nobody is going to make you perform your German.
Step-free from Friesstrasse to both rooms, accessible toilet, and one changing room that is not gendered. If you need something specific from a class, write to us beforehand and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it.
Yes, once, from the bench by the door. Ask the teacher first. Most people who do this end up in the second half anyway.
Tell us which one and we will make sure someone is looking out for you at the door.
