Dabke Night invites you to move, connect, and share in the tradition of dabke

Dabke Night invites you to move, connect, and share in the tradition of dabke, a folk dance from the Levant (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan). This night brings the energy of Levantine culture into London’s nightlight, creating a space where everyone, regardless of background or experience, can take part.

The evening kicks off with a beginner’s, welcoming workshop where you’ll learn the steps, there’s no need for you to have learned dabke dance before – the focus is on joining in and having fun. After the workshops, the dance floor opens for a party that carries the essence of dabke into the night, with traditional dabke music, modern electronic beats, and hip-hop carrying your feet.

Dabke Night has grown into a much-loved part of the nightlife scene in the Netherlands, and now it’s coming to London for one night only. The workshops operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Come early to join both workshops, jump into the second, or give the workshops a miss and step right into an evening of dancing, socialising, and sharing in Arabic culture.

This Dabke Night features workshops, Palestinian dabke performances by Juzour Dance Collective, and a DJ set to show off your moves on the dance floor!

Doors open: 5:30 PM and the party continues late into the evening until 10:00PM

Age Restriction: 18+
