Dalla is a dance band in Cornwall known for providing music for Noze looan dances. Members play the clarinet, bouzouki, fiddle, guitar, accordion, and percussion, and sing in both Cornish and English.

Various members of dalla formerly played in bucca, sowena, and other bands. The music displays influences from these previous sounds. Dalla often appear with many additional instruments, which vary from event to event.

Dalla has greatly influenced Cornish music, encouraging the formation of 'noze looan' bands, particularly by younger people and influencing bands such as The Red Army (band), Pentorr and tezen koynt. They have been involved in numerous Cornish music projects, run by cumpas such as 'kick up your heels' in which young people from across Cornwall played in a large underground concert at Carnglaze Caverns, or the 'crowders and horners' project, to encourage processional cornish music and dance.

Just-Cornish describes dalla as "possibly the most popular contemporary Cornish music group ever."
