Belly Dancing Unveiled: The Hidden Benefits for ...

Why do so many doctors, osteopaths, gynaecologists, and physiotherapists recommend belly dancing, even without having attended a single class? Perhaps it’s because they intuitively understand that belly dancing strengthens the body’s inner musculature. Rachida Aharrat dives into the anatomy of bellydance to unveil the benefits for your body.

Tips for belly dance with a veil

One of our favourite accessories to dance with is the veil, the theme of our A and A/M choreographies in our next course period (KP2) starting March 4th 2024. 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 in colour and shape, as the veil adds a new dimension to the performance.

A YEAR IN OUR NEW DANCE STUDIO IN ZURICH

It’s hard to believe that we’ve already danced a whole year in our new studio in Wipkingen. It’s time to look back and celebrate how we achieved our crowdfunding goal to help fund building work and how we’ve filled the space this year with energy, creativity and fun! The new ZeoT dance studio is more than a dance school; it’s a beautiful space for our community to meet, dance, be creative and feel at home.

MARINE DU SORDET - PASSIO

MARINE DU SORDET - PASSIO

"Passio" is a Latin term commonly used to refer to passion and intense love but originally to designate suffering. As French photographer Marine du Sordet progressed on her project dedicated to dancers, it became clear to her that most of them, driven by an unconditional love of their art, did not hide the part of suffering - both physical and psychological - inherent to its practice.

Her work intends to reveal this duality between appearance and reality. Her exhibition will be at ZeoT Zürich from September 28 to December 21, 2019.

MANUELA BENZ - MOVEMENT ON PAPER

With her focus on the body and the visualization of movement, Manuela Benz's prints have found a perfect temporary home in her exhibition at ZeoT Zürich which runs until September 2019. In the following images you can follow the process of creation and development of Manuela’s latest work. Working from photographs taken during a dance session with ALIA, Manuela has created a new series of prints.

TROMMEL SOLO, ZÜRICH TANZT FESTIVAL & ZEOT SHOWCASE

TROMMEL SOLO, ZÜRICH TANZT FESTIVAL & ZEOT SHOWCASE

Eine Performance zu einem Trommel Solo zu beobachten, kann ziemlich hypnotisierend sein! Die Tänzerin imitiert und verfolgt die Musik so genau, dass sie mit dem Beat fast eins wird. Pops, Locks und Shimmies spiegeln den Rhythmus wider und die Tänzerin muss ihre Technik gut beherrschen, um Bewegungen gezielt durchzuführen - das kann energisch und auch verspielt wirken. Mache mit in unserer KP3, wo wir uns auf das Thema Trommel Solo konzentrieren werden!

Wir freuen uns auch wieder darüber, dass das ZeoT Zürich einer der Orte für das Zürcher Tanzt-Festival ist. Neben den Crashkursen veranstalten wir am Samstag, den 4. Mai, eine Hafla mit Auftritten im ZeoT Zürich und wir tanzen auch in "So tanzt die Welt" am Zürcher Hauptbahnhof.  Lies unseren Newsletter für weitere Informationen und informiere dich über die Workshops und Veranstaltungen, die wir für die nächsten Monate geplant haben.

DRUM SOLO, ZÜRICH TANZT FESTIVAL & ZEOT SHOWCASE

Watching a performance to a drum solo can be truly hypnotising! The dancer imitates and follows the music so closely as to almost become one with the beat. Pops, locks and shimmies reflect the rhythms and the dancer needs to have great control of her technique in order to achieve sharp movements. It’s not only very energetic but also playful too. Join us in KP3 where we’ll be focusing on the ‘dums’ and ‘taks’ of the drum solo!

We’re excited that ZeoT Zürich is again one of the locations for the Zürich Tanzt festival. In addition to crash courses, we’ll also be hosting a Hafla with performances on Saturday 4th May in ZeoT Zürich studios plus dancing in “So tanzt die Welt” at Zürich Hauptbahnhof.  Read our newsletter for more details plus find out about the workshops and events we have planned for the next few months.
