Workshop and Summer Gala

Hafla Information for Performers

Thanks for your interest to dance in our Summer Gala. We are so excited and this will be spectacular! We have special guest star Maggie Wong coming all the way from Hong Kong!!!

The St Marylebone School Theatre has a beautiful massive stage, with a classroom for us to use for changing facilities. If you are doing the workshop, the studio is within the complex.

All performers will need to buy an admission ticket. (You can sit in the audience when you are not performing) Tickets are £10+fees before 1st July and £15+fees afterwards (Through Eventbrite). All individual members of a group will require a ticket. Your performance slot is only guaranteed if you paid.

If you are doing the workshop+performance this is £60 (you get workshop&performance slot&1 audience ticket) pay directly to Vicki on paypal: vmicki@hotmail.com

Please send me: Music, Photo, Bio and some extra info

Send by 01/07/26 but sooner the better so I can create posters/bios etc. One email please include music, picture, bio and off/on stage info

MUSIC

We accept MP3 format only

There's no limit in length, however, up to you to decide whether you can keep the audience's focus. It would be nice to have a longer set with dynamic changes/props. Or a clear Entrance, middle, ending.

Assuming everyone is just doing one dance. There's the option to do another dance style for the Talent Part of the show.

I am bringing back the ever popular "Talent Show" so you are welcome to showcase another talent outside of bellydance. We will have a keyboard if you want to showcase that. (Vicki is doing a duet piano duet with Fyra) We now have flamenco, piano and burlesque in the programme, we are open to other talents.
