Dabke (Arabic: دبكة also spelled dabka, dubki, dabkeh, plural dabkaat)[1] is a Levantine folk dance.[2] Dabke combines circle dance and line dancing and is widely performed at weddings and other joyous occasions. The line forms from right to left and leader of the dabke heads the line, alternating between facing the audience and the other dancers. In English, it can be transcribed as dabka, dabki, dabkeh. Dabka is a highly stylized dance practiced widely in Syria, as well as Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine. Its origins remain undocumented, but many associate the circular line dance with pre-Islamic village life. According to myth, villagers would prepare for weddings by fashioning mud bricks for the roofs of the new households. Dozens of agile feet, tramping and grinding the watery soil into thick mud, made the job easy, especially when accompanied by improvised sung poetry, a mijwiz reed instrument and a large tabl drum.
