This is the fourth year of Haflanta, and this year we're offering workshops at all our four locations in Metro Atlanta. Haflanta means Hafla in Atlanta, and Hafla is arabic for dance party. So this is what Haflanta is all about - party time at the Nazeem Allayl Studios. Instructors from four studios come togher on the weekend of September 27-28th, teach workshops that are either student favorites or specialty workshops that are usually only taught to troupe members. This event is only once a year, so don't miss it and register now:
