It is widely performed across the Middle East, including Lebanon. People dance it in groups at joyful occasions, including but not limited to weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi cannot hear this music without jumping to dance it at parties&#8230; And if she is by herself at home, she cannot help not to start dancing (even whilst working :)). Below, she will share three videos on Dabke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first video shows dancing that took place at Beirut airport in 2011 (10 years ago only, although it feels like ages in a pandemic&#8230;.). This occurred during the more golden years of Lebanon. Yes, this was before Lebanon&#8217;s tragic financial crash on October 17, 2019, before the tough pandemic, and the surrealistic Beirut explosion of August 4, 2020. Lighter days will return to Beirut and its citizens and visitors will dance and enjoy life again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the second video features the &#8220;<em>Chevaliers du Liban<\/em>&#8221; of Qu\u00e9bec. It shows us that we can dance the Dabke even in the snow :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in the third short video, four Montreal youth teach us how to dance the Dabk\u00e9 (in English). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy :)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Beirut Duty Free Rocks Airport with Dabke Dance | \u062f\u0628\u0643\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u0633\u0648\u0642 \u0628\u064a\u0631\u0648\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0631\u0629\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ccy-EQPH3LU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Les Chevaliers Du Liban Dabke in snow  - Law Gharrabouha Joseph Attieh\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KDkC-Wt1Ai8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to dabke\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HYxQMbsmPaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dabke is the Levantine&#8217;s native dance.
