A Hafla is a Middle Eastern dance Party. We have solo and group performances. The dancers may be students, professionals or anyone in between.

This year we will spotlight special themes at some f the haflas. So if you have an ethnic dance, sign up for the December Hafla , or bring your comedy act to the January one. Plan your first-time performance for the Feruary hafla or your neotribal act for March. But we won't be limited to the spotlight them, all dancers are welcome.

We usually have time for drumming and social dancing after the performances.
If you want to watch, just show up. It is free, but we do pass the hat to pay the rent.

If you want to perform, contact one of the people listed below at least a day before the hafla. We suggest that performances be about 5-6 minutes long. Also if you plan multiple performances, for instance a solo and a troupe dance, please discuss this with one of us before the hafla. Depending on the number of performances schedules, we may ask you to defer one dance to the next hafla.
