Mission Statement

Zafira Dance Studios provides instruction in international, vintage, and contemporary “hybrid” dance forms.  Zafira Dance Studios is a place to explore cultural tradition reinterpreted as integrated contemporary expression.  ZDS broadens the exploration and presentation of diverse expression in Pittsburgh’s dance community, and broadcasts the fruits of this inquiry to national and international audiences.

We offer a range of classes from beginner to professional-fitness to performance preparation, in order to broaden Pittsburgh’s dance community and provide students with fundamental strength and coordination training.   Some of the best international and “hybrid” dance teachers in the city teach weekly classes & host workshops at Zafira Studios.  We also work with several local promoters to showcase local, national and international world music concerts in an intimate setting.

Zafira Studio also houses Zafira Dance Company Offices, a dance resource library and offers studio rentals for regional dance company rehearsals and workshops.

Our weekly class offerings:

  • Flamenco
  • Rajasthani Kabelia Dance
  • Tribal and Vintage Bellydance
  • Argentine Tango
  • Poi
  • Afro-Modern
  • Samba
  • Pilates & Wellness
