Thread: Monthly Sphinx Haflas at Mango 2011 (IL)

Hi Bhuz! It's been awhile since I've been able to visit due to injury.
I just wanted to share the information for the monthly Sphinx Haflas at Mango, now in it's 8th year!!!

The Sphinx Haflas are the 1st Saturday of each month, held at Mango in Niles.
They are designed for the Chicago-area BellyDance Community to network.
(out of town bellydancers are also Always welcome to perform)
The Haflas are made up of:
different instructors & their students, solos & groups,
veils, swords, Cabaret, Tribal, drummers, zillers,
1st time performer -to- pro, ect. . . .

The Haflas are at:
Mango! (formerly- Sphinx Cafe)- 8743 Milwaukee Ave in Niles
(se corner of 14 & 21) 847-967-0030

Admission is $15 and includes:
*Dinner Buffet
*BellyDance Show
*Program
*Open Dancing

They are from 6:45-10pm on the 1st Saturday of EVERY month.

If you or your students will be in the Chicago-area and would like to perform, please email me (Zayna) for more information at:
egyptdancer(at)hotmail(dot)com

I am limited in the number of performers for each Hafla,
so please feel free to reserve your performing spot for ANY of the 2011 dates.
(sometime students will reserve in advance for holiday break,
or instructors will reserve in advance for a date near the end of a choreography class & use the Sphinx Hafla as a 'final class project')

The first 8 soloists to sign up for a given month receive a discount on dinner! Performing student soloists get 50% off dinner, & performing instructors will receive a free dinner.

The 2011 Sphinx Hafla 'at Mango' dates are:
*February 5th, 2011
*March 5th, 2011
