Haflas/Fashion Shows/ Performances - Incorporate a hafla with the workshops and you can have a performance by Kay, and possibly Christine and Desiree if they are there. Farida Dance can provide a belly dance souk for your hafla, with everything from coinbelts and accessories to class wear and professional cabaret costumes from top designers such as Eman Zaki and Hanan of Cairo.

Rates for performances depend on distance and amount of folks attending the hafla and whether Farida are having a stall. If we are travelling long distances we ask that Farida are the only belly dance stall your event.
