Please join us for an exciting weekend of dancing, drumming, and strumming for our third annual Spring Hafla event with Souhail Kaspar on May 2nd, 2009 in Tempe, Arizona.

Grammy-nominated percussionist Souhail Kaspar returns to the Valley of the Sun for a fun-filled weekend of dance, music, and drum workshops. Special guest artists include multi-talented Moroccan musician Rachid Halihal and the lovely neo-tribal dancer Jane Archer, owner of Euphoria Studios in Portland. Saturday night, come to the star-studded hafla dance party extravaganza featuring live music with Souhail and Rachid, a rocking percussion section and special guest musicians. There will be featured dance performances by the magnificent Jane Archer, funky Mia Donna, beautiful Christina Karras, and more surprises to be announced soon. Check out the vending bazaar including Zaghareet- featured Anaya Tribal where you can boost your dance wardrobe or get spring/summer birthday presents for that special someone. Wear your best spring dance gear and get ready to party! There is open dancing for everyone when the featured dancers aren't performing. The event takes place at the beautiful Plaza de Anaya World Fusion Studio in Tempe, Arizona.
