Good morning, everyone! I hope you’re adapting well to the colder weather. Still not a lot of rain here, let’s hope it stays that way a bit longer. 😉

There’s a lot going on with Greenstone Belly Dance in Delft, Hillegersberg and Central Rotterdam this semester, so I thought I better update you all!

The 11 week class session in Delft starts tonight, Thursday the 19th of September, and there are still spaces in both the Beginners (18:00) and Intermediate/Advanced (19:00) classes! The Intermediate/Advanced class will be preparing a performance for the Autumn Hafla, and the Beginners class may have the option as well – we’ll discuss tonight.

As for Hillegersberg, I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a special 4 week series on Golden Era Belly Dance, with a particular focus on the dance of Samia Gamal and the music of Farid Al-Atrache. We’ll be preparing a group choreography, and there will also be an opportunity to perform this at the hafla!

Finally, as I’m sure you’ve guessed from all the mentioning in this post, we have a hafla next month! I’m absolutely thrilled to be bringing the stunning Amanda Rose to the Netherlands for the very first time. She is not only an amazing teacher, but a fantastic dancer, and she’ll be teaching workshops before the hafla. But be quick if you want to register – we are already 75% sold out! Find all the details and register to learn with her here.

I think that’s all for now, folks! I’ve got a lot of fabulous ideas brewing for 2020…. Stay tuned. 😉
