Jane Camilleri (Ya Habibi School of Middle Eastern Dance) and Angelez Diaz, proudly present “Shimmy for Charity” – a World Belly Dance day fundraising event that will be held on Saturday 12th May in the afternoon. For those who are unfamiliar, World Belly Dance day is a global event that has been celebrated annually, every second Saturday of May for the last six years. On this day, dancers around the world unite to celebrate their love for and promote oriental dance arts, whilst at the same time raising funds for charity. This year, Malta will be joining the international community for the first time through an event which will hopefully bring together the local bellydance scene. During “Shimmy for Charity”, Jane, Angeles and Haydar will each be teaching a number of fun classes targeted at both members from the general public as well existing dancers of different levels, from complete beginners to the more experienced. The following are the classes on offer:
GYPSY FUSION – Learn a complete fusion choreography oozing with fiery gypsy flavour! Please bring a full circle skirt with you! DABKE – Get a taste of this joyous line folk dance native to the Levant region. BELLY DANCE TASTER – Never bellydanced before? Then this is the class for you! Come give it a try, as we take you through an oriental journey of figure eights, circles, hip drops and we’ll even throw in a few shimmies in between. So rally your friends and join the fun! No dance experience required, all shapes, sizes and ages welcome! ORIENTAL SALSA – Salsa enthusiasts are bound to love this unique blend of oriental and salsa. SHIMMY BOOTCAMP – Ya Habibi’s trademark Shim-A-thon is back! Join Jane in this mixed level class that is guaranteed to make you shimmy, sweat and giggle till you drop – all in the name of charity! Classes will be held at: GARDEN VIEW COMPLEX, Swieqi. The minimum donation amount for each class applies to both participants and sit-ins. All ages/levels welcome! Kindly note that neither Jane, Angeles, nor Haydar, will be receiving any money from the event: all profits from “Shimmy for Charity” will be donated to Dar Fejda and Dar Jeanne Antide, residential homes that house young females between the ages of 11 and 18 years with personal, social and familial difficulties who have already gone through a number of serious letdowns and rejections in their life.
