Dabke: A Traditional Middle Eastern Dance Form

Dabke is a joyful traditional line and circle dancing with origins in Middle Eastern culture. It is performed in the mountains of the Levantine region, including Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, during weddings, special occasions, and family gatherings. The dance involves a large group of people interlocking arms, tapping, and stomping with their feet while singing or chanting. Dabke is a way to share historical narratives and vibrant folk legacies. In addition to dabke, learn about Mansaf, a traditional Jordanian dish made of lamb cooked in a sauce of fermented dried yogurt and served with rice or bulgur.
