Palestinians Celebrate Culture Through Dabke Dance

Dabke is about rootedness, belonging and unity. Dabke, a traditional folk dance from the Levant region, is one of the main dance forms in Palestine, and a living history of the people and their culture. Since 1948, the dance has become the voice of the voiceless, and a resounding statement of Palestinian identity, existence and resistance. The meaning of 'dabke’ is literally 'stamping of the feet’, and historically was used to inspire people when they were working the land or joining together to complete communal tasks.
