Creative Kaleidoscope Workshop: Bellydance Hafla

Join us at Art in Motion Pittsburgh on February 2, 2025 for a Bellydance Hafla, an immersive experience filled with music, food, and dance (with a lesson) as we celebrate the beginning of the new year. Mix and mingle as we explore the rich cultural connotations in bellydance that have enlivened gatherings and united people for generations.Hafla, a term common to both Arabic and Hebrew, is a celebration that primarily involves dancing and music. In recent times, a hafla represents the celebration and unity in diversity of the Middle East and beyond, so that communities may grow together versus apart.

Expect an afternoon filled with vibrant energy, delicious Middle Eastern light bites, and a try-it-yourself dance session…
