About the Hafla

Picture
Hafla is an Arabic word that roughly translates into party.  In much of the United States however, Hafla means Middle Eastern Bellydance performances.  The Delaware Drum and Dance Hafla does a mix of both: performances plus open drumming and dancing.

The Hafla has existed since Feb 2010.  See the hafla history 
You can also find us on Facebook.
