This is going to be our "April Fool's Anything Goes Hafla". Don't miss out on this raucous crazy night of silliness and fun. You can look forward to watching (or participating in) the infamous Improv Contest! Yep...10 people will explore their ability to dazzle us with their ability to perform to randomly selected pieces of music. This is one of my favorite haflas of the year. Come join us.

Join us for an evening of shopping, performances, potluck food, and fun!! Bring an item of food to share...a bottle of wine...chips...soda...whatever trips your trigger. Bring some pillows to sit on and your sultry spirit to enjoy the fun. Costumes are optional, but a fun part of the ambiance. We will have open dancing as well. It's a party, so bring friends!!

April Fools Anything Goes Hafla

$5 + a plate of food/beverage
(Children 12 and under are free)

**Warning**...this hafla tends to be a little edgy. I don't necessarily encourage it, but it's the nature of the Improv Contest to get a bit risque. I still want everyone to approach the hafla as family-friendly, but if you are bringing children, be prepared for a little more *ahem* adultish themes during the contest. My kids will be there, so if anything gets too out of hand I will stop it. LOL. But, I have a fairly high offense-tolerance.

If you plan on dancing, please arrive early and check in with me asap. This hafla is pretty popular and we tend to have a lot of performers. Please be willing to dance early in the evening. I don't know if I'll be able to fit everyone into the lineup if everyone wants to dance after 9:30pm.

Vendors are welcome. Please just show up early to claim your space. I am usually there by 6:30 to set up.

We will also be having the infamous "Improv" Contest. Yes, you too could be a winner. Join up for this one-of-a-kind dance contest. Nobody knows what the music will be until we play it. If you want to dance in the contest, you need to check in early as well. And if I don't get enough contestants...I'll pull folks out of the audience.

For the most part, this is a pretty casual event and a great way to meet others in this community. If you feel inspired to perform for us, bring your music and contact Samira when you arrive. If you want to just join in the open dances, wear a hip scarf and jump up to enjoy the fun. Sometimes we have vendors, and sometimes we don't. Every Hafla is different and brings new faces to our community. We hope to see you there.

If you are planning on dancing or vending, please contact me off list at samira@bellydanceintensive.com

Looking forward to seeing you there...
Samira
