Info

Dabke is one of the most popular dances from countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, traditionally performed at weddings and festive occasions. However, dabke is more than just a dance—it is a significant expression of cultural identity, resistance, and heritage. Guided by the rhythm of the drum (tabl) and the reed flute (meijwiz), participants dance hand in hand, while the leader of the dabke sets the pace and performs improvisations. The best part? Anyone can learn the basics! In this workshop, you'll be prepared to shine at any future Arab wedding for the rest of your life.

Dabke Night is a unique initiative comprising around ten dancers with diverse cultural backgrounds. Since 2016, they have been organizing club nights, workshops, and courses in the Netherlands and beyond, all centered around dabke. The aim of Dabke Night is to foster intercultural connections and create more space for Arab culture in the cultural (night)life scene.
