Arab Arts Festival will be holding a Parent and Baby Dabke workshop this Saturday, full details are below:

Join Sylvia and Zayd for Parent and Baby Dabke.

Come have fun and learn some basic Dabke steps for you and your little one. Whether you’re a parent or carer, it’s a perfect activity to do together, to get active, learn a new skill or just burn a little energy on a Saturday morning.

Dabke is a traditional Palestinian folkloric dance. This digital workshop will teach you some basic steps, and have a little fun. It’s designed especially for little ones and their parents, so no dance experience is required.

All ages welcome including sling babies.

This year, we’d planned a few dance workshops with El-Funoun Palestinian Dance Troup and Hawiyya Dance Company. This is part of our 2020 digital programme.

You can sign up for this class via Eventbrite. The link is here.

A few days before the event, we’ll send you the invitation to the Zoom session. It is password protected and entry is only via this link. You’ll be able to see the instructor and you can choose whether she can see you or not.
