“yalla khabibi, (come dear friend), you are invited to our hafla right after the evening prayers.”
a small, low-key social gathering centered around bellydancing and food. may include costume vendors and live music.
in order to provide students with a low-stakes arena in which to perform, as well as to expose them to the style of other bellydancers, rasha hosts a hafla at the end of every eight-week session that she teaches.
