Hafla, an Arabic word, translates to celebration, gathering, or party.In the belly dance community, a hafla is an event where students and professionals can perform and socialize in a supportive and casual atmosphere.

This is a great place to try out a new routine or dance just for fun.

Shop and swap is happening this time, bring your used or gently warn costumes and accessories. (Set up is 1:30 pm at the earliest).
