Die Schule tanzt

The Zurich Opera House and Im Birch secondary school have been working together for several years to integrate dance into everyday school life. Workshops, input and visits to the opera house give pupils creative approaches to the art form. All classes now dance together and the project shapes the school's identity. In June 2026, the 3rd secondary classes will present their final pieces.
