RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron , 26 March 2022. Palestinian girls from the Jafra band train traditional dabke dance, to participate in national events and wedding celebrations for women, in the West Bank city of Hebron. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Sanabel Zaqeq, founder of the Jafra Band. STORYLINE: Dabke (also spelled as Dabka or Debka) is an Arabic folk dance which originated in the mountainous regions above the Mediterranean coastline and the Tigris River, and is still practiced in Middle Eastern regions. When first created, the Dabke dance was practiced by people of the villages and towns of Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, and some Quasi-Bedouin tribes that were in nearby territories. Dabke signifies aspirations, struggles, and history of the Palestinian people, making it one of the most important cultural forms of art in their culture. Now, within the Palestinian contemporary music scene, dabke has evolved from a simple dance consisting of only 10 to 15 steps, into a complex musical and theatrical performance with a plot.
