2008 at the Oasis and in our local community
(driving distance from Dayton):

Many of the Belly Dance HAFLA Nite ‘Weekend’s’ will feature a guest performer at the Hafla who will teach either a 2-day workshop weekend full of classes and a show or teach a 1-day Specialty Class on the Saturday following the Friday night Hafla.
With the Belly Dance Nite being the 2nd “Friday” of every month, it makes the evening so very special to have a guest performer there and super-convenient to offer a class with the artist the following day, Saturday or weekend! Keep an eye on the Specialty Class page of this website to be sure you don’t miss a cool opportunity to study with someone neat, right here close to home!
A Specialty Class is a 1-day, inexpensive way to get a few hours of concentrated dance education with a teacher you would not normally be able to study with. Like a Mini-Workshop!!
More great educational opportunities keep getting added to the schedule each month at the Oasis all the time so check us out!

Here is some info about Microfinancing and why Nataj would like to throw this fundraiser for them:
Founded in 1984, FINCA International provides financial services to the world’s lowest-income entrepreneurs so they can create jobs, build assets and improve their standard of living. FINCA village banking programs provide small loans, a savings program, and technical support for the self-employed poor, helping them to work their own way out of poverty. In 2005, FINCA disbursed over $323 million in loans to more than 375,000 clients worldwide through 22 programs in Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Loans averaged $360, with an on-time repayment rate of 97%. FINCA’s history demonstrates that, not only does microfinance work in terms of how it impacts peoples’ lives, it is also a sustainable, scaleable business model.

I hope you will be able to come support this event!!
