Lynchburg Hafla 2008

topic posted Fri, May 9, 2008 - 8:18 AM by  Nancy
Okay Ladies it is that time of year again. Lynchburg Tribal is proud to present their 2nd annual Lynchburg Hafla. With the great success we had last year we are hoping to present another wonderful event. This year we are planning on having a workshop that morning and afternoon followed by the Hafla. The event is schedule for September 27, 2008.

So if you think you or your troupe would be interested in participating in the workshop, Hafla, or both please send me your contact information (name, address, phone number, email) to eeimp1@gmail.com. If you are part of a troupe I only need one contact person per troupe.

We are planning on having the participates packages together by June 1. These packages will have time, location and cost of the workshop, who is teaching it, the contents of the workshop, and the deadlines for the fee. The packages will also have Hafla information such as start time, when the venue will open up to the dancers, and of course where the after party will be.

I look forward to hearing from everyone.

    Will there be live music at the after party? When you say "Hafla" do you mean small groups dancing to canned music and we all clap in-between , or do you mean everyone dancing to live music?

      The performance itself is designed to allow dancers to perform their own dance numbers to live drummers (if they have them) or "canned music". The event is open to the public and last year most of the audience was non-dancer. So this was a great opportunity to show the public that bellydancing is not what they think it is. We got great reviews from the people who saw the show, they were impressed with the beauty and skill the dancers showcased.

      After the show all the drummers who attended got on the floor and started drumming and anyone interested in dancing came out. This last for a little while after the show and then we all went to the after party. The after party plans for this year are not finalized at this moment. I will put your suggestion in about having the after party at a location that allows for live drummers. If you are interested in attending any part of the event please give me you email address and I will forward the information once all the plans have been finalized.

      Thanks for your interest.
