“ The event was so organized and well put together, I can't thank Birnur, Dale, Basmah, and DJ Derajja enough! What a fantastic job! The venue was huge! I also enjoyed performing and meeting lovely and talented fellow dancers. It was truly a rewarding experience! Thanks again! ” -
olga (+1 guest)“ It's was awsome!!!I went there with all my family and everybody really enjoyed it, even kids! We loved this event, will go again and bring my friends next time! Amazing! ” -
“ Terrific first show for The MeetUp family! It was exciting and raucous festive! I was very happy to lend my talents to the occasion and very honored to close the show! ” -
“ Terrific! Thanks to ALL Dancers, Musicians, Vendors & DJ Derajja for being the pulse of the heart of this Hafla Habibi. Our audience loved it, many dancing with bellydancers during breaks and styles of dance varied from Classic Egyptian Elegant Era of Club Ibis to Tribal Fusion & Hip Hop! Thanks to Birnur & Organizers for a great event, our photographers and videographer and to our sponsors Journal Square Restoration, Corp and to Mohammed and the Journal Square Cafe. ” ” -
“ KUDOS to the organizers of this marathon event! An event producer myself I know what it takes to coordinate all the details and the team who managed this program did an outstanding job! I admit, however, I found the line-up of forty performers a bit exhaustive... Nonetheless the variety of talent and myriad of dances, dancers and costumes to view proved delightful! For example, Birnur was beautiful, Tashira tres elegant, Magda ever mysterius and Tarik dazzled everyone with his dance and balancing skills ~ Kudos to you all! ... and there was the shop-ortunity! Meanwhile, for me, the most enjoyable component was boogie-ing during the open dance segment admidst the *rocking* music spun by DJ Derajja ~ particulary when it all got kicked up a notch upon the request of a young Moroccan man who danced tirelessly with everyone willing to partner with him! FUN! FUN! FUN! May the producers be inspired to do it again ~ perhaps semi-annually? ” -
Tanja Howard (+7 guests)“ Hafla Habibi was a HUGE hoopla of dancing and music and shopping. The people were nice, the dancers were gorgeous, and the music was tantalizingly exotic. ” -
“ Had a great time! Birnur, Dale & Basmah deserve kudos for pulling off a big show! It was wonderful to see so much fun dancing. Thanks for all your hard work. ” -
