Dabke
Dabke is a traditional folk dance originating from the Levant region, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. It is typically performed at weddings and festive occasions, where dancers form a line or circle, holding hands and stepping in rhythm to lively music. The dance combines elements of stomping, jumping, and intricate footwork, often accompanied by traditional instruments.
The dance is not only a form of entertainment but also a way to express cultural identity and community spirit. Participants often wear traditional attire, and the performance can vary in style and complexity, reflecting local customs and traditions.
