Let’s Hafla! Tiara Hafla!
What would you do if you if genetics decided that one day your body would no long be able to hold itself together as it does for a healthy person? If every joint; finger, knuckle, ankle, rib, had to be braced. What if you could not climb a flight of stairs or even sit down without unexplainable pain? Unfortunately that is what EDS (Elhers Danlos Syndrome) does to those who inherit it.
This life changing and threatening disease now hurts one of our own, a wonderful dancer and generous person, Zayna. With at least 2-3 Dr visits a week, constant use of braces and the inability to live without assistance Zayna is not only in need but is more than deserving of a little love given back her direction. Zayna has done fund and awareness raisers for the homeless, assists in local homeless and is an active member of ZS. Now it is our turn to help her!
To have a Hafla is to have a party. Belly Dancers, Musicians, and Vendors are all coming out to celebrate the ability to give assistance where it is needed. There will not only be fabulous entertainment but food, drinks and raffles for fabulous prizes such as 60 minute massages, tickets to Medieval Times, various belly dancing accessories, hand-made jewelry, as well gift certificates to various establishments such as Cabala’s and Charming Charlie’s. There will be an entrance fee of $10 plus a donation for local homeless. This fee gets you in to see a great show lasting 4 hours along with a food and drink ticket. The homeless donation can be a food item or non-food needed items such as sun block and insect repellent.
So grab that coin belt from out of the closet and have some food, drink, win fun prizes, watch wonderful dancers. There will also be two open dances where you can show off your own moves! All of this while helping those in need. Let’s Hafla!
