The Summer Hafla in the Park event will feature live music by the Gypsy Funk Squad, a world fusion band, who will play for an amazing lineup of belly dancers and performers 6-9 p.m. Sunday, June 25 at the Park at 4th Street in Quakertown, PA. Admission is free and optional donations will benefit local special-needs education. This is a family-, kid- and pet-friendly event. There will be a potluck, raffles and prizes.

Before the hafla, take a bellydance with fire workshop with fusion bellydancer Lorenda from 2-4:30 p.m. at the host’s home in Quakertown. Address will be given after registration for the $30 class. Lorenda will teach a bellydance choreography with palm torches and palm candles, go over fire safety and how to fire perform legally, and demo a few of her other fire bellydance props. Those with prior experience in fire dancing may bring their props for a fire jam after the workshop.

Payment for the workshop can be sent to Lorenda via PayPal using the link https://www.paypal.me/LorendaKnisel/30 Please email her with any questions about the workshop or payment.
