UPCOMING COURSES // KP2: 06.03. - 30.04.2023

In our next course period (KP2) starting March 6th 2023, we’ll be learning a veil choreography in levels A, A/M and M.

Veils can be used to frame movements or become an extension of the dancer’s body. Dynamic, dramatic or dreamy, the movement fills the space around the dancer with colour and shape, as the veil adds a new element to the performance.

Register here: www.zeot.ch/anmelden

Or why not try dancing with fan veils in a workshop with Lhamo or try all kinds of crazy accessories in the upcoming workshops with whirling Queen, Nicole McLaren?

As we reach the end of 2022, we’ve also reached the end of an era, having said goodbye to our old studio in Lagerstrasse. We’re thankful for all the wonderful times there and are looking forward to the start of ZeoT 2.0 in Wipkingen. Building work is now finished & we’re delighted with the result.

As one of our supporters, we would love it if you can join us over the first weekend in January for free crash courses & get to know our new home. If you’re not ready to dance so early in the year, then just come for a tour!

Wishing you a joyous holiday time & thanking you again for your support. You helped create a new home for our dance community & we are so grateful for your support.

Best wishes, ALIA & the ZeoT team

We made it! With our crowdfunding, we reached our goal of CHF 40,000. Even more: A whopping CHF 42,038 came together - from 238 supporters. Thanks to your generosity, we can now go full throttle.

We’re not only working flat out on building the new ZeoT dance studio. We’re also making sure that your reward finds its way to you as soon as possible.

Thank you doesn’t seem adequate to express how we feel. Not only have we been moved by your support, but we’ve also seen again the power of community and also the depth of feeling many people have about ZeoT Zürich.

Last but not least, we’d like to invite you to be one of the first guests in our new home. Join us for our open week in the first week of January 2023. We’ll publish more information about this here shortly.

And of course, we’ll also keep reporting on the construction work of our new home.

Thank you not only from Alia & the ZeoT team, but also from all the dancers of the ZeoT community who make ZeoT Zürich so much more than just a dance school.

We’re very happy & grateful that despite reaching our goal, you’re still contributing to our crowdfunding. This is fantastic because the original amount of CHF 40,000 covers just part of the building work.

There are just 24 hours left to add to the ZeoT treasure trove 🏆 It’s also the last chance to snap up some amazing rewards!

ZeoT Team: Alia, Lhamo, Simone, Julie, Karin, Rachida, Lorena & Nina.

Dank der Grosszügigkeit unserer Unterstützer haben wir 40’000 CHF erreicht. Und einer davon bist du! Deshalb möchten wir uns ganz herzlich bei dir bedanken. Dank dir können wir nun einen Teil der Bauarbeiten an unserem neuen Studio finanzieren.

Jippie! Wir haben unser Ziel erreicht, ja sogar noch mehr, und wir haben noch 2 Tage vor uns!

Wir freuen uns darauf, mit dir im neuen Jahr in unserem neuen Zuhause zu tanzen.

Ein riesengrosses Dankeschön. Nochmals. Und nochmals. Und nochmals.

ZeoT Team: Alia, Lhamo, Simone, Julie, Karin, Rachida, Lorena & Nina.

Zuerst einmal jetzt schon ganz herzlichen Dank für eure Grosszügigkeit! Wir könnten eure Hilfe im Endspurt aber trotzdem noch brauchen - wir sind mit gut 38’793 CHF ganz nahe am Ziel dran, aber es bleiben nur noch 3 Tage, um das Ziel von 40’000 CHF zu erreichen!

Der Countdown läuft! 10, 9, 8…

Wenn alle von euch einen Unterstützer ins Boot holen können, erreichen wir unser Ziel.

Schickt unseren Projektlink an alle, die gerne tanzen, die Frauen in Wirtschaft und Kultur unterstützen wollen, die helfen wollen, einen Ort zu schaffen, an dem sich Frauen wohlfühlen, sich inspirieren lassen und zusammen sein können.

Vorfreudige Grüsse aus dem ZeoT Team: Alia, Lhamo, Simone, Julie, Karin, Rachida, Lorena & Nina.

Wow. Wir sind in Sachen Crowdfunding auf die Zielgerade eingebogen: 75% sind erreicht. Es bleiben noch 7 Tage und wir sind ehrlich gesagt schon ziemlich nervös, ob wir es schaffen oder nicht – es ist noch ein weiter Weg vor uns. Wir bleiben aber optimistisch und sind überzeugt, dass wir noch viele Leute mehr mobilisieren können, um uns ein paar Franken zu spenden. Damit es sich noch mehr lohnt, haben wir neue Belohnungen aufgeschaltet, die hoffentlich ganz in Eurem Sinne sind.

Bitte erzählt also nochmals allen Freunde, Eltern, Tanten, Grosseltern, Unternehmen und überhaupt allen von unserem Projekt und schickt ihnen direkt den Link zur Kampagne: https://wemakeit.com/projects/a-new-home-for-our-studio

Natürlich waren wir in der Zwischenzeit nicht untätig: Das neue ZeoT-Tanzstudio in Wipkingen nimmt bereits Gestalt an, wie ihr auf den Fotos sehen könnt. Wir haben Wände, eine Tanzfläche, Spiegel und eine Dusche. Die Bauarbeiten sollten bald abgeschlossen sein, aber wir heben uns die endgültigen Bilder auf, bis unser Crowdfunding beendet ist.

Wenn ihr das Studio persönlich sehen wollt, dann haltet euch auf dem Laufenden, indem ihr uns in den sozialen Medien folgt oder euch für unseren Newsletter anmeldet.

Save the date! In der ersten Januarwoche haben wir eine Woche der offenen Tür, mit Crashkursen und mehr.

Folgt dem ZeoT Zürich auf Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/zeot_zurich/) oder auf Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/zeot.bauchtanz).
