Troupe Nambah and A Taste of Java co-hosted the first
Nambahlicious Hafla on a rainy Friday night. We had a good turn out of
both performers and audience. A Taste of Java offered chicken shish
kebab dinners for a very reasonable price and Lunatic Fringe and
Bahira's Beautiful Bedlah vended their wares. A big "Thanks" to
everyone who braved the rain to support the belly dance community. Here
are some photos of the performer line-up:

Nambah then got the audience up and dancing.
Open Dancing was a real treat -- not only for the dancers...
but for the owners of A Taste of Java


Troupe Nambah ended the fun night with a Raffle drawing
(no purchase necessary)...you just had to be there having fun.
Everyone had an equal chance to win one of the many fun items.
