Hi!

We look forward to welcoming you at our Fitzroy dance class with a special guest teacher!

22nd October 2025 will be a special 2 hour Dabke Themed class so feel free to dress for the occasion!!

Dabke is a vibrant, communal folk dance popular in the Levant (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq), characterized by rhythmic stomping, synchronized footwork, and energetic movements performed in a line or semi-circle. Dabke has evolved into an expression of joy and unity at weddings and festivals, as well as a powerful symbol of Palestinian identity, cultural resistance, and resilience. The dance involves holding hands or locking arms, often led by a dancer called a laweeh, and is performed to traditional music with instruments like drums and flutes.

Proceeeds from this class will be donated to Olive Kids
