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.

HOW TO DANCE & PLAY ZILLS!

HOW TO DANCE & PLAY ZILLS!

Finger cymbals or zills, a tradititional musical instrument for Oriental dancers to play whilst dancing, can be used to accompany the music or accentuate your movements. Playing cymbals will also help improve your coordination and give your brain a good work out!

Dancing with zills adds a new element to your dance and helps your understanding of arabic rhythms….but how do you begin?

HOW TO BREATHE....AND DANCE!

ts as easy as....... How often have you heard this? It may be true but when it comes to dancing, sometimes the simplest things become complicated! Like breathing for instance! We are so concentrated on getting the steps right, keeping our posture, moving in time with the music that we forget to breathe! Ok, not entirely, but we don't always breathe 'consciously' with all the benefits that this would bring.
