Charity Hafla
!!Now Online!!
Dance for clean oceans 2020
Sandy Maya is hosting an Online event
in aid of saving the oceans
Donations can be made here
please add the following note to your DONATION:
Donation via "Dance for Clean Oceans 2020"
WE RAISED £243.00 this year
Thank you all!
This will be the fourth Dance for Clean Oceans event.
This event will be going back to the original Hafla layout focusing on bellydance but allowing other dance-forms to take part as well.
The event is to help raise awareness of the plastic society we have created
and to share information on how we can rectify the damage already done and how to actively make changes in our day to day life.
Take glitter for example,it makes up a huge part of the entertainment industry
and it only takes for people to realise that the fine plastic particles are harmful to our environment
and opt into a non-plastic version of it which many people do not know exists.
There are lots of biodegradable glitters available now, for stage enthusiasts and festival goers.
You can still sparkle, yet be environmentally friendly focused.
It's the small changes by many who create the big change!
One dance step at a time, we try to make people think about those things whilst also continue doing what we love,
entertain and delight our audience with dance!
Come to our show and enjoy a fun night out,
profits of the show will get donated to incredibleoceans.org
to help educate the world about how we can help reduce single use plastics and find sustainable alternatives.

This is the third Dance for Clean Oceans event.
It differs a little from the previous 2 events which were entirely Bellydance focused.
We now take a step out into the wider dance world to reach out to even more individuals
to help raise awareness of the plastic society we have created
and how we can rectify the damage already done and how to actively make changes in our day to day life.
Take glitter for example,
it makes up a huge part of the entertainment industry
and it only takes for people to realise that the fine plastic particles are harmful to our environment
and opt into a non-plastic version of it.
There are lots of biodegradable glitters available now, for stage enthusiasts and festival goers.
You can still sparkle, yet be environmentally friendly focused.
It's the small changes by many who create the big change!
One dance step at a time, we try to make people think about those things whilst also continue doing what we love,
entertain and delight our audience with dance!
Come to our show and enjoy a fun night out,
profits of the show will get donated to incredibleoceans.org
to help educate the world about how we can help reduce single use plastics and find sustainable alternatives.
It's for a good cause and there'll be a raffle as well :)
