Playing the hand drum is permissible; in fact, it is a recommended practice (sunnah). Striking the hand drum is a recommended practice, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it.

However, contemporary artistic dancing is not permissible. Yes, the dancing of immoral women and open sinners, where some exposure may occur, is forbidden and not permissible. Yes.
