WORKSHOPS 

For the 2026 edition, the Orient’Alp Festival will offer 21 dance workshops for adults and children, featuring a rich variety of styles. Explore Oriental dance, Tribal, Bollywood, Persian dances, Egyptian folklore, Tanoura, Hip-Hop, Gulf dances, and many more. International teachers from Iraq, the United States, Argentina, India, France, Morocco, Spain, Austria, Sweden, and over 20 other countries will lead these workshops, alongside renowned professionals and dance schools from Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg, Bern, Basel, Zurich, and across Switzerland.

Before the official festival launch, join us for the Pre-Festival, a special artistic interlude featuring the two-day mini-retreat “The Alchemy of Dance” led by Kira Lebedeva. This intensive workshop offers participants a deep artistic immersion, combining dance, creative rituals, stage work, and exploration of the Five Elements — a unique opportunity to discover new dimensions of themselves and their dance.

We will also present two collaborative artistic projects: participants will receive online training under the guidance of Leandro Ferreyra before coming together for joint rehearsals to prepare two exclusive performances, presented on stage during the festival.

Join us to experience an unforgettable journey at Switzerland’s largest Oriental and World Dance event!
