Hood College hosted the 4th annual Hips for Hearts Hafla is a belly dance fundraiser to benefit the American Heart Association earlier this month.
Hood College Belly Dance Club and other dancers performed in the fundraiser on Feb. 11. The event was held in Hodson Auditorium starting at 7 p.m.
Dr. Shannon Kundey participated in multiple performances and did one solo performance. Because belly dance is an interactive experience, the audience cheered on the performers. It is recommended to express enjoyment.
Double entendres were expressed by the audience members frequently. Hissing was reserved for when someone does a sensual move, while “opei” meant “yes.”
Members of the Meridian Dance Company also participated in the fundraiser. They incorporated hip-hop arm movements with other talents, like when a dancer balanced a sword on her head.
The event proved that dancing can be both enjoyable and beneficial for good causes. After all, hips don’t lie.
