Joy as an act of resistance is power beyond measure
Dabke is a Levantine folk dance particularly popular among Lebanese, Jordanian, Palestinian, and Syrian communities. In this workshop will be learning traditional Palestinian Dabke steps.
Dabke combines circle dance and line dancing and is widely performed at weddings and other joyous occasions. The line forms from right to left and the leader of the dabke heads the line, alternating between facing the audience and the other dancers.
