Holiday Events and New Classes at Dancin’ on the Door

Dancin’ on the Door is hosting a Holiday Hafla on Dec. 22. A hafla is a party or social gathering where belly dancers take turns performing as well as some open-floor dancing for everyone to get up and enjoy the Middle Eastern music. Join local belly dancers Gretchen Geurts-Kummer and Andria Nikoupolis Weliky for a $10 beginners belly dance lesson from 6 – 7 pm. Then stay for a potluck, drum circle and dance party from 7 – 9 pm. Bring a dish to pass and BYOB. Plan for no street shoes on the dance floor. A soft sole indoor shoe, slipper or moccasin is recommended. RSVP by calling 920.868.5089 or visit dancinonthedoor.com.

Dancin’ on the Door’s youth program presents “Sara and the Toy Shoppe: A Mini Ballet Production” on Dec. 20 at 3 pm at the Baileys Harbor Town Hall.

Admission for ages 10 and older is $5 or a new, unwrapped toy to be donated to the local toy distribution program “Toys For Kids.” Children under 10 are free. Tickets are available at the studio or may be purchased at the door.
