Student Hafla

The student hafla went off wonderfully this past weekend!  The weather was crazy, but lots of folks were brave and made it - I hope they had as good a time as they seemed to be having!  We opened with performances from Daughters of Djinn and Halleyah Raks (Performance Class Members) with the incensing of the room, tossing of rose petals, sprinkling with rose water and fire!  It was really cool - the first time we tried this and then we closed the song with the ATS Moving Meditation in silence.  Then Halleyah Raks performed and did wonderfully!  After that two students, Jennifer and Heather, performed their first choreography duet and were awesome and we closed with a Daughters of Djinn performance by myself and Bella.  

At that point we opened the floor to dancing and got all the folks there up and dancing including the studio owner who had dropped by!  She finally got to see what goes on at one of my haflas.  The table was overflowing with yummy foods and the room smelled amazing and the twinkle lights and tapestries gave the room the most wonderful atmosphere!

It was magical...... Hope to see you there next year!
