SECOND SESSION ADDED AT 7PM.

From protests to weddings, dabke plays an important role in Palestinian and Arab culture - and often spontaneously breaks out at TPFF events. TPFF’s workshop, led by Leila Al-Khatib, gives aspiring dancers an opportunity to learn this traditional dance with fellow beginners. Parents are encouraged to join their kids.

More about Leila: 

Leila Al-Khatib shares her passion of Palestinian culture by practicing dabkeh and tatreez. She has been practicing dabkeh for 7 years and has been part of several dabkeh groups throughout the years. She learned tatreez right here at TPFF 3 years ago and has been hooked since. Her goal in her work is to humanize Palestinians by sharing the beauty of our culture.
