Masani Azura and Siham Ali workshop hosted by Della Gushen

IT WAS AWESOME!

Masani and Siham always deliver power packed workshops. Today was no different.

First, Siham taught a short cane choreography. Though short, it included several extremely challenging moves. Invigorating! Masani followed up with a zill and drum dance. Masani must know every zill pattern there is!

After the workshops, the space was transformed for the hafla. Tables and chairs were brought out and some mood setting decorations were placed about the stage area. Lite appetizers (pita bread, crackers, etc.) were served while performers changed into their costumes. A few numbers and dinner was served! Salad, Greek pizza (Della’s famous Greek pizza!), fresh fruit, rice pilaf, etc…

Ladies from at least 3 states performed in the hafla. There was also open dancing to live drumming. That had to be the best part. There is not much more awesome than dancing to drumming.

In conclusion, I am already looking forward to the next event!
Thank You, Della, Masani, and Siham! =D
