Join Our Palestinian Dabke Dance Workshop!
Monday 23 November 7-9pm
Preserve Palestinian culture and experience the power of dance as a form of resistance. Dabke is a Levantine folk dance that has been around for thousands of years. The workshop will be led by Yahya who also dances with Nabad troupe, performing and teaching around the UK. He will tell us about the mutual aid work he does in Gaza to help us understand the current situation there. Bring your friends and make some new ones as we immerse ourselves in this community dance and stomp, step, and spin together.
Yahya is a Palestinian in the diaspora. He is passionate about keeping Palestine alive - its culture, its stories and its people. Through mutual aid efforts, he works on bringing much needed support to thousands of families in Gaza. Dabke is the national Palestinian dance and Yahya is proud to dance and teach it. In this 2 hour session, you’ll get a better understanding of the basic moves involved in the dance and hopefully learn to dance to a song as well.
