Where: 6 Park End St
Performance at Keble
This
event will feature a number of dancers, including Caitlyn and her
student dancers (the Raqs Stars and the OMEDS Intermediate Class). Oxford Middle Eastern Dance Society (OMEDS) will be hosting a Hafla this winter (poster attached) on FRIDAY, 3RD DECEMBER. We will once again be hosting the event at the lovely O’REILLY THEATRE (entrance on Blackhall Road), owned by Keble College. The show will take place from 7:30–10:30 (doors open at 6:45) and tickets are again priced at £7 (£1 for children under 12). OMEDS is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers which aims to provide good value, high quality classes and events in the local community and promote involvement in, and better understanding of, this beautiful and elegant dance form. All proceeds of our Haflas and other events are ploughed back into the Society to help us improve our classes and cover our costs. Please find full details of the Winter Hafla at www.omeds.org.uk/events.shtml. Advance ticket booking recommended.
