Palestinian dabke is a traditional dance distinguished by its vitality and strength, inspired by the rhythmic stomping of feet on the ground, historically used to flatten house floors or during agricultural labor. It symbolizes solidarity and connection among people through formations such as the circle, straight line, and semi-circle. Traditionally practiced during social gatherings, dabke embodies the spirit of unity, collective expression, and cultural resistance. Over generations, it has evolved into a powerful symbol of Palestinian identity and heritage.
Join Wahid for a two-hours immersion in Palestinian heritage and culture, to find collective heartbeat, mouvement and joy.
