Join Mustafa Alsaidi from Belfast Dabke and his dancers for a memorable Palestinian dance with some cúpla focal gaeilge during this very special performance and workshop.
The Palestinian Dabke is a traditional folk celebration dance normally performed at weddings, festivals, symbolising unity, resilience, and the joy of communal life.
The dance involves synchronised steps and rhythmic stomping, often accompanied by lively music played on traditional instruments like the oud and the darbuka. Come watch the performance and join the dance!
