“Steps for Palestine: Dabke through the Diaspora” is a series of workshops that seeks to promote and increase awareness about the dabke as one of the forms of cultural expression which best represents Palestine. Throughout this series of seven theoretical/practical sessions, not only will we be learning about the technique and movements in this type of dance, but we will also be forming a space for reflection on the value of performing arts in Palestine and among its diaspora, highlighting its role in the preservation of cultural identity and its ability to tell stories and pass on values.

The content of this workshop is as follows:

Theoretical Section: The Dabke by geographical region. Palestine and the diaspora (Nakba). Types of Dabke.

Choreographic Section: 
Review of the previous class. 
Rehearsal of first choreography with the song Ya Zareef Al-tool. 
Rehearsing the steps in the Qarradiye.

The workshops will be given by Francisco Montero Lahsen and Francisco J. Fernández.
