Street Dabka

About

Street Dabka is a project that teaches Palestinian folk dabke through simple, interactive workshops inspired by the atmosphere of weddings and social gatherings. It is a flexible, accessible practice that can happen anywhere in studios, parks, streets, and public spaces inviting anyone to join, learn the rhythm, and experience the collective energy of the dance.

Street Dabka Worldwide

Since its founding, Street Dabka has traveled across continents, bringing the joy and power of Palestinian dabke to diverse communities around the world. From intimate studio sessions to large outdoor gatherings, each workshop adapts to its environment while maintaining the core spirit of collective celebration.
