ZOOZ CHANUKAH END OF YEAR PARTY - REPORT

  ZOOZ ISRAELI DANCING


CHANUKAH/BREAK UP PARTY REPORT

OH WHAT A NIGHT!!
Late December back in 2011    :)  (yeah - I know...it should be '63)
What a very special time for me,
'Cause I remember what a night.
(With apologies to Frankie Valli!)

Sorry - I couldn't help breaking out into song..... :)


Thank you so much for
coming along to our End of Year/Chanukah Party on Thursday night 22nd December, to celebrate a great 2011 as well as Chanukah, "The Festival of Lights".

It was just wonderful to have some good old friends join us from other Melbourne IFD classes too.It certainly will be a night to remember for many years to come! The atmosphere was electric, the hall was rockin',  the decorations, the candles, the glitter & glitz - everyone was glowing (you looked fantastic!!) and of course, the food, the food, the food.....ponchkaAnother highlight, particularly for me, was Belinda's birthday dance with her children.

It gave me, and all the other ZOOZ teachers & staff, so much pleasure & satisfaction to see the obvious delight on your faces when you were dancing & during the candle-lighting & singing. 
I am so proud to say that most of the dancers were our own ZOOZ'ies ...ie. "home-grown" dancers - some for their first ever party, and also many of our "old timers" who have never missed any of our parties since 2006 (when ZOOZ started).
A lovely cross-section of dancers of all levels, from each of our classes, holding hands and celebrating the evening together.

                                               Without doubt, our parties....               

                                              are getting better all the time
                                              Better, better, better.
                                              are getting better all the time
                                              Better, better, better.
                                              (Apologies to the Beatles!!)
                                      Here I go again with the singing :) lol


My grateful thanks to all the ZOOZ teachers, Belinda, Cindy & Annette, our Trainee Teacher, Ariella, and our Teachers' Assistants, Colette & Helena for the pure pleasure of dancing & teaching together, throughout the year. Big thanks to Sam, Suzy, Jack, & Claude for all that you have done to support the teaching staff & all the work behind the scenes.

I would like to especially thank Sheffi Shapira for teaching my Tuesday night beginners' class whilst I was overseas & for adding so much fun & joy in our class. Sheffi gave apologies for being unable to attend the party, as unfortunately he was feeling unwell.  We are all thrilled & delighted to have Sheffi join the  ZOOZ Teaching Staff in 2012!! I am particularly looking forward to sharing fun, inspiration & learning with Sheffi, on Tuesday evenings next year!!

It was fantastic that our ex-assistant teacher, Laura, could be present for our Chanukah party. Laura has always been a great support & is still involved with a lot of our ZOOZ staff meetings & decisions. At our previous party we did a fun link up with Laura via Skype. It was MUCH better to have her actually dancing with us in the flesh! Unfortunately she is returning to Israel early in January & we will miss her very much. We wish her & her fiance Sharon, all the very best for the future together. 

And most importantly, once again, a big thank you to YOU for your ongoing support during 2011! We are so looking forward to teaching you some more fabulous new dances next year!  Our ZOOZ team will be taking some well-earned holidays and return refreshed in January to begin 2012 with a limited timetable for the first week back.  1st Classes back will be:- Tuesday morning, 10th January 2012, 9.30 am - 12.30 pm ALL LEVELS (Scout Hall, Miller St. Elsternwick) & Thursday evening, 12th January - also a combined class for ALL LEVELS from 7.45 pm - 10.45 pm at rear of St John's, 5 Finch St. E. Malvern
 (For all further classes, please refer to the ZOOZ January Holiday Program Calendar I sent recently) In the meantime, if you have any queries about any of our classes, please feel free to contact me.
 
Here is a link to some of the photos taken at the party. There will be more posted on our website & ZOOZ facebook homepage, very soon.

ZOOZ PINK RIBBON BRUNCH 2011 DONATIONS

pinkribbon

 

 

I am absolutely delighted & very proud to inform you that this year we raised a total of $2,144 for the NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION.

This money came from online donations & at our fun! fun! fun! Pink Ribbon Pyjama Party Brunch on 11th October as well as from several dancers who could not attend. All the money raised will be going towards research programs for a cure of breast cancer.

                     From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you who donated so generously to this very worthy cause.
                     
                      Happy ZOOZ'ing, in good health, always!
