Join us for an enchanting celebration of dance and empowerment at our first annual HAFLA here on the Fun Coast, hosted by Flagler-Volusia based belly dance performer and instructor, Sadira!
This vibrant, all-ages event is dedicated to supporting a cause close to our hearts: raising awareness for domestic violence and supporting survivors. As advocates for change, we're thrilled to announce that proceeds from this event will benefit the National CARE Foundation, a locally headquartered 501(c)3 devoted to domestic violence awareness and victim support. With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we decided to kick things off early with "Hips of Strength".
Get ready to enhance your dance skills with two exclusive master classes led by renowned instructors:
• REBEQ is a fusion dancer of some two decades’ experience, based in the Tampa Bay area. They are adamant in the belief that dance is for everyone - if you have a corporeal form in this world you can and should dance!
10:30AM-12:30PM: Intro to Contemporary Fusion Dance - in this workshop, Rebeq will teach their signature style of fusion bellydance, which combines slink and shimmy with concepts like fall and recovery from contemporary dance. Open to all levels and all, really all, bodies. You need only have a physical form to unlock these mesmerizing flows.
• Join international performer and instructor ORIANA for an illuminating introduction to Arabic classical music tailored specifically for bellydancers. In this engaging session, Oriana will break down the essentials of this rich musical genre, making it accessible and enjoyable for dancers of all levels.
1:30PM-3:30PM: Learn how to interpret the music, understand the significance of various accents and instruments, and explore the nuances of maqam (Arabic musical scales). Discover how to express yourself through the music, letting your body become an orchestra. With Oriana's guidance, you'll gain the confidence to embrace and perform complex classical pieces with grace and style, adding these beloved and treasured songs to your repertoire.
Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your dance skills and deepen your appreciation for Arabic classical music!
Workshops are $75/each or $120 for both. Register now using the ticket link: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/DE36JFKTD49LA
