TheDanceClass
Move. Dance. Stretch.
High heels dance and lyrical jazz classes every Tuesday near Sihlcity, Zurich. Beginner friendly.
Let’s move!
The Dance Class is a space for women to rediscover the joy of movement. We do learn technique, but above all, dance here is play. It’s a way to come back to your body, build confidence and give your mind a proper rest.
And along the way, you meet women who love the same thing and become part of a community that shows up for each other, week after week.
The class in the studio
Take one style or both on the same evening. Each class is 60 minutes.
No heels? No problem. You can try a pair on in the studio, or even buy brand new ones, or simply dance barefoot or in socks. All the ways are welcome.
The class online
The online classes are a separate programme, not a stream of the Tuesday studio class.
They run live over video on their own schedule, so the days, times and styles are different.
Join from anywhere in the world.
Dorota Ilczuk
Hi, I am Dorota, but my friends call me Doris. Dance has been part of my life since childhood. Over twenty-five years, it has taken me from commercial dance, acrobatics and cheerleading to jazz dance, with performances on stage and on TV and workshops in different countries along the way. I am a certified and professionally trained dance instructor.
Life pulled me away from dance for a while. Coming back to it helped me find myself again, and I fully committed to both dancing and teaching. Then I discovered high heels dance and fell in love with this style.
I created The Dance Class because I want women to have a space and a moment just for themselves: to be here and now, feel feminine and enjoy movement. My mission is for every woman to have access to dance, and to grow through it, no matter where in the world she is.
“Thank you for the high heels class. I am still blown away by the choreography, it was so well thought out, and the class was perfectly balanced. I could see how professionally you approach your work and how much you want to share what you know.”
“You are not only a great dancer but also a great teacher. Some moves seemed impossible to even try, but everything came easier thanks to the way you explained each element. I cannot wait for the next class.”
“I really love your classes, you are an amazing teacher. I am learning technique, but I also have a lot of fun. I always leave class feeling light and relaxed in my mind.”
The class made just for you
Not sure about a group class yet? Totally okay. Book a private lesson and we’ll work on exactly what you want, at exactly your pace. Choose your style and we can meet in the studio in Zurich or live online.
Come on your own, bring a friend, or make it a thing with your friends.
Give the class as a gift
Are you looking for a unique gift? Give her time to move, laugh, switch off and make new friends. A gift card works for our classes in the studio in Zurich or live online.
No, you do not need any experience. Whether you have never danced in your life, are coming back to dancing after years, or are looking for a new style to try, you are in the right place. Everybody starts somewhere.
Not at all. In the high heels class you can dance in heels, barefoot or in socks, whatever feels good. You can try on shoes in the studio first, and you can also buy professional dance shoes here.
Something comfy you can move in, socks, and a bottle of water. That is it.
Yes, all classes are taught in English.
Start with the trial class, it is made for first timers. Then you decide what is next.
That is completely fine. Try a private lesson instead, on your own or with a friend, in the studio or online, at your own pace.
You join live over video from wherever you are. Once you book, you get an email with your Google Meet link, plus a reminder before class. Online classes have their own schedule and their own booking page, and all times are in Zurich time.
No. Studio and online are separate packages with their own booking pages, so a pass works in one place only.
