In June, we will be continuing our workshops titled “Steps for Palestine: Dabke through the Diaspora,” where you can learn more about this traditional Palestinian dance and understand its meaning. Sign up for the June 7 session or buy the discounted package that includes all seven workshop sessions here.

“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 best representing 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 third workshop is as follows:

Theoretical Section: 
Wardrobe, instruments and props.

Choreographic Section: 
Review of the previous class. 
Rehearsal Ya Zareef Al-tool and Qarradiye. 
Presentation of the Tayara style.

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