SOCIAL HAFLA
You do not need to be a Guild member to dance or attend.
Register to perform here: https://forms.gle/qsLFtxwsrsm3AkNw8
ALL styles of belly dance are welcome (Orientale, folkloric, fusion, etc.) Musicians are also welcome! Groups are encouraged. This is an informal dance event. Makeup and costume are not required. Maximum length: 6 minutes. Family friendly is preferred. Bring your music downloaded to a device (must play in Airplane mode-no streaming). There’s a large bathroom to change into costumes, but you’ll want to arrive in makeup.
DRUM JAM
The drum jam will follow the dancing. Bring your tabla/dumbek, riq/tambourine, frame drum, darbuka, zills/finger cymbals, or other rhythm device to participate in a circle of drumming and/or dancing. We’ll be playing these five rhythms, in no particular order: Baladi, Ayube, Masmoudi, Malfouf, and Karsilama.
We’re excited to have Cassandra Shore lead the drum jam and coordinate the rhythms!
Here is a helpful example of each rhythm:

There's no charge to attend, but we'll take donations.
LOCATION: Tapestry Folkdance Center, 3739 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis, MN.
