Well, this <em>dabke <\/em>\u201cthing\u201d is a folk dance born in the Levant region of the Middle East back when roofs were made of mud and branches. You see, if you had a house with such a roof and you notice it\u2019s gotten a lot of cracks in it at the same time you notice rainclouds approaching in the distance, what do you do? Well, you invite your friends, family and neighbors over, tell them to form a line, hold hands, and all together you start stomping mud back into those cracks so you don\u2019t get wet or freeze to death over the winter. Besides, soon enough one of your friends, family members or neighbors would be inviting you over to do the same thing to their house. And that\u2019s how the <em>dabke <\/em>was born.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these days houses aren\u2019t made of mud and tree branches, but the <em>dabke<\/em> remains and is still passed down from generation to generation as way to remind the youngsters of the importance of family, friends, and community. This is why you can still see the Arab folk dance known as the <em>dabke<\/em> at weddings and other family celebrations to this very day.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-prepare-yourself\"><strong>Prepare Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Okay, before you<br \/>\nlearn how to do the <em>dabke<\/em>, there are a few things you need to know, the<br \/>\nfirst of which is that there are many different styles of this traditional Arab<br \/>\ndance; most notably you have <em>al shamaliyya<\/em>, <em>al sha\u2019rawaiyya<\/em>, <em>al<br \/>\nkaradiyya<\/em>, <em>al farah<\/em>, <em>al ghazal<\/em>, and <em>al sahja<\/em>. Each<br \/>\nregion has its own variations of the dance and its accompanying music; for<br \/>\nexample, Jordan alone has nineteen different <em>dabke<\/em> styles! This means<br \/>\nyou\u2019ll have to know which country the bride and groom\u2019s family are coming from<br \/>\nso you can practice that particular style.<\/p>\n<p>The next thing<br \/>\nto do in preparation for the <em>dabke<\/em> is pay close attention to the music<br \/>\nto get the feel for the beat. There are several YouTube videos and popular<br \/>\nsongs you can watch or listen to get your feel for the rhythm and get your<br \/>\ngroove on. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve<br \/>\nlearned to bust a move and have a pretty good idea of how to dance the dabke,<br \/>\ntry to practice your moves as the <em>lawweeh<\/em> (\u201cleader\u201d), the most skilled of<br \/>\nthe group and the one who controls the tempo and energy of the dance. Sometimes<br \/>\n<em>lawweeh<\/em> may use a handkerchief or a small stick as guide for the rest of<br \/>\nthe dancers. The <em>lawweeh <\/em>also improvises and shows off more difficult dance<br \/>\nmoves and can even decide to break from the line and dance in the center or<br \/>\nswitch positions with another person in line.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you\u2019re not sure what to do, then watch what other dancers are doing and try to copy their moves; however, there are also these eight <em>dabke<\/em> dancers you have to look out for as well:<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-1-the-quiet-one\"><strong>1. &nbsp;The Quiet One<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When asked to<br \/>\njoin the line, at first this one is all like \u201cNo, no, no. I\u2019m afraid I\u2019m not<br \/>\nvery good at it\u201d until they hit the dance floor and start doing the <em>dabke<\/em><br \/>\nlike an Arabian John Travolta or Beyonc\u00e8. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-2-the-over-achiever\"><strong>2. The Over-Achiever<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019ll know who<br \/>\nthis one is when you\u2019re at the doctor\u2019s office the next day trying to explain<br \/>\nhow you broke three toes at a wedding. Remember his or her name so you\u2019ll know<br \/>\nwho to send the bill to.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-3-the-show-stopper\"><strong>3. The Show Stopper<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is the deliciously<br \/>\nhandsome or devastatingly beautiful one who&#8217;ll have the eyes of all the guests<br \/>\non them, making them forget who the bride and groom are for a minute or two.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-4-the-overzealous-expert\"><strong>4. The Overzealous Expert <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This knows how<br \/>\nto dance all nine different Jordanian styles of <em>dabke <\/em>\u2013 backwards \u2013 and<br \/>\nhe\u2019ll show you, too!<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-5-the-overeaters\"><strong>5. The Overeaters<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These are the<br \/>\nones who\u2019ll do the <em>dabke<\/em> only to burn off the calories they consumed<br \/>\nfrom the three plates of <em>mansaf<\/em> and that extra slice of wedding cake<br \/>\nthey ate. <\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-6-the-party-people\"><strong>6. The Party People<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These are the<br \/>\nones who will use any reason &#8211; their son got a C+ in English, they finally got<br \/>\nthat bad tooth pulled,&nbsp; work was<br \/>\ncancelled due to snow \u2013 to throw a party and show off their <em>dabke<\/em><br \/>\nskills.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-7-the-sure-we-know-how-to-dabke-dancers\"><strong>7. The \u201cSure We know How to Dabke\u201d Dancers<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>No you don\u2019t,<br \/>\ndude. That\u2019s the \u201cRunning Man\u201d and you\u2019ve been doing it for like half an hour<br \/>\nnow.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-8-the-ones-that-ll-tell-you-it-s-as-easy-as-a-b-c\"><strong>8. The Ones That\u2019ll Tell You \u201cIt&#8217;s as Easy as A, B, C\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>No.It.Is.Not!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-dance-the-dabke\">\n<p><strong>How To Dance the Dabke<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Okay, now that<br \/>\nyou\u2019ve learned to spot the eight types of dabke dancers to be careful of,<br \/>\nyou\u2019re ready to get up and boogie on the Lebanese <em>dabke<\/em> wedding dance floor, so<br \/>\nhere\u2019s how you do it:<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already<br \/>\ntold you about the six main types of dabke dance above, but no matter if you\u2019re<br \/>\ndoing the Lebanese <em>dabke<\/em><br \/>\nor the <em>dabke<\/em> dance Syria style, we\u2019re<br \/>\ngoing to teach&nbsp; you the most common style<br \/>\nknown as the <em>al shamaliyya<\/em>. &nbsp;First, cross your left foot over your right<br \/>\nfoot two times, and then follow the hops that the <em>lawweeh<\/em> makes. Easy,<br \/>\nhuh? Seriously, watch some videos or have somebody who knows how to do the <em>dabke<\/em><br \/>\nteach you. There\u2019s a reason why I\u2019m a writer and not a dance instructor. <\/p>\n<p>If you enjoyed this article and you\u2019d like to know more about this Arabic folk dance or anything else on Arab culture, shuffle on over to kaleela.com for more great stuff.
