Started doing these Hafla series for my students here in Goa after they complete every level. As they could experience what it feels like to dance outside of class, perform together, just enjoy the process as a group & community 🤍
Do you know what a Hafla is & what happens in it?
“Hafla” is an Arabic word meaning a party or social gathering. In the Bellydance world, it’s an event where students, professionals and people who simply love the art form come together to perform for each other, dance together, cheer each other on and celebrate the art form as a community.
Haflas are friendly, informal and supportive. Not about perfection, pressure or putting up a polished production. It’s about creating an encouraging space where dancers of all levels can perform, express themselves and slowly grow more confident through the experience.
And honestly, that’s exactly what I wanted to create here too. Really proud of all my girls for showing up and doing this together ✨
