Lifesaver Bellydance Workshop for Wise Women: Savor Life, Be a Life Saver

Benefiting the Tahirih Justice Center www.tahirih.org

When we’ve reached our 40s, wise women know that part of savoring life is trying new things and sharing fun experiences. Saffron Dance welcomes you to experience a one-hour introduction to bellydance with Saphira. You’ll learn some fundamental movements of this feminine art, enjoy a refreshing Saffrontini, and mingle with fabulous women. Wise women also know the importance of giving back – all proceeds from the event will benefit the Tahirih Justice Center (www.tahirih.org), a nonprofit whose mission is to protect immigrant women and girls seeking justice in the United States from gender-based violence. Tahirih empowers its clients to achieve justice and equality through holistic direct legal services and national public policy advocacy.
