Urban Gyspies - thank you from Safeena



Safeena would like to thank everyone who came to the Urban Gypsy hafla on Saturday 9th May at the Premier Inn, Pentwyn, Cardiff.

It was a fantastic night and the dancing was just amazing. Safeena's guests from Manchester and Stoke on Trent were very impressed with the warm South Wales welcome and commented on how friendly everyone was.

The Urban Gypsies upped the tempo with their stunning performance, they were an inspiration to any budding tribal fusion dancer.

Safeena raised over £100 for a special charity run by Zeena of the Trent Valley Tribal group, to help parents of children who die suddeny from cancer or other terrible illnesses, and who have to face huge funeral costs as well as having to cope with devastating grief. She lost her beloved son Ben so the charity is very close to her heart. Thank you for all giving so freely.

Thanks also to all who attended the workshop, it was hard work, challenging, but so much fun!!!

Meanwhile Safeena is hosting Ozgen again on the weekend of Saturday 27th / Sunday 28th June - this time he will be teaching a beginners' workshop, an intermediate workshop and a workshop for advanced students, performers and teachers. More details to follow shortly.
