As I mentioned earlier, we were spoilt for choice on International Bellydance Day. Habiba Dance went to the hafla in Glasgow and has a few, lovely pictures of some of the performers, as well as a video of her own performance up on her blog. I went to the Leith hafla (which raised £100 for Shakti) camera in hand, and was thoroughly entertained. Despite the event being cut short Martina managed to squeeze all the performers in.
And beyond? Well next month we have two haflas to look forward to in Edinburgh/East Lothian:
- A Bit of Cairo on Duke Street: Leith Bellydancers Hafla on Tuesday 14 June, 7.30pm-10.30pm, at The Parlour Bar, Duke Street, Leith. This is running as part of the Leith Festival and has… free entry!
- The annual Musselburgh Hafla on Thursday 30 June, 7.30pm – 11pm, at the Musselburgh Rugby Club, Stoneyhill Farm Road, Musselburgh. Tickets for this will be £5 with the proceeds going to charity.
Elspeth SwishandHips is organising both events – if you’d like to perform do get in touch with her: swishandhips at hotmail.co.uk
Now I did say I had brought my camera to the Leith International Bellydance Day hafla… Here are just a few pictures from the night to give you a taste.
Below is the lovely Constantina (who we won’t have here for much longer – we found out at the hafla that she’ll be moving back to Greece shortly!)
The elegant and polished Natalie!
And the hhhhorrible Elspeth - topping off the show with a Sha’abi piece:
