It might appear to be a simple dance but it is not that easy to perform. The professional dancers dance at the Heena nights as well as in the procession of the groom that goes to the bride\u2019s house for marriage. \n Music \n Like many other forms of Kashmiri dance, Hafiza dance is performed along with Sufiana Kalaam form of music. This is a kind of music that relates to the Sufis and hence, its lyrics have got the Persian literary touch.
