A new home for ZeoT Bellydance school Zürich
Our dance school ZeoT has to move to a new location in Zürich and needs your support to help fund some of the building work. We want the new ZeoT dance studio to be a place that is more than a dance school: A beautiful space for our community to meet, dance, be creative and feel at home.
Why do we need crowdfunding?
The Corona pandemic presented ZeoT, like many dance and sports schools, with great challenges. With a quick transition to online teaching, we were, fortunately, able to continue teaching - but our cushion of funding melted away during that time.
After we returned to dance in our studio where we’ve been since 2006, we were hit with more bad news: due to the gentrification of Europaallee, our building owners would not renew our contract. Our vibrant dance studio in Lagerstrasse will soon be turned into offices.
However, this doesn’t mean the end of ZeoT! After a long search for a new location, we’re happy to have found a great new place in Wipkingen where we can keep our school alive. From January 2023 we will welcome our students to our new dance studio.
The change means that we have to face unplanned costs, which we cannot meet without support: The deconstruction of the old location and the construction of the new premises.
WORK IN PROGRESS
How we'll build a new home for our dance community
Our new location in Wipkingen is currently still under construction. We need help to transform it into a dance school: This includes, for example, partition walls to divide the space into two dance studios, a dance floor that is easy on the joints, mirrored walls, showers and acoustic dampening curtains.
WE HAVE DANCE FLOORS & MIRRORS!
WHY CROWDFUNDING?
Through our dance classes, shows and events, we support women from all walks of life to express themselves, develop strength, flexibility and self-confidence. We’re proud of the diverse and wonderful women who dance with us! We chose wemakeit crowdfunding because we wanted to involve our community in the project to build a new home for ZeoT.
With their and your support, we can realise our plans and keep ZeoT alive. Thank you very much!
A big thank you to the Stiftung für Studentisches Wohnen Zürich (SSWZ) & Martin Hauser for their support, creativity & dedication to building our new studio.
