There is a video with the Black Lebanese dance group. Amazing. Then there is the one with the kid doing it! Awesome! But the one with the Muslim woman in the dress, she was hanging right up there with the guys! I would have tripped over my dress, she was the dabke queen!

[@dannyhabbas7627]

Dabke is usually formed in line a of both men and women. Women can lead too. The reason why you don’t see it as often is most likely because dabke is done at weddings or celebrations were women are wearing dresses and heels making it harder for them to do the dance. However, in my experience at weddings with my family, women often lead the dabke.

[@zoomenter33]

To answer your questions, the towel/cane is a prop that some use signifying leading the line and also in order as to not leave their hands open . The drums are brought to the event by whoever is hired to DJ. Lastly, women leading the Dabke dance is nothing new, it’s culture only. Here’s a playlist with women kzbin.info/aero/PL1a6B1_cHS4_We4-393zdz7C-Z0twceWt

Dabke is a levantine dance, its a tribal dance that used to be danced after war victories, later on it became the norm to be danced during weddings, There are multiple types of it such as mejwez, dalo'ona and tayara and many others which might be specific to each region of the levant on its ow that symbolizes their tribe.

[@yaseehenta9711]

It’s a Turkish and Arabic dance! They don’t dance it after victories! Check the Palestinian history.

[@rajaaxx5265]

Hello I'm not from Lebanon (I'm Moroccan) but here's what I know... This dance is thousands of years old. it is danced in the Levant ( Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan) and it is derived from the way man used to celebrate victory in wars ( alot of dances in middle east derived from that)... that is why it is popular among man, woman also dance it. You guys are beautiful people, I hope all the best for you in your KZbin journey and life (sorry my English is bad)

[@FayesFood]

You guys would actually love Lebanon. It's a country that borders the Mediterranean so it has beautiful beaches but also has mountains you can explore. Great food and very hospitable people. So much to do and see there. Thrillist ranked Lebanon as one of the most underrated countries in the world. You can visit for really cheap right now because of the economic situation too.

[@sabahdavis3164]

Women have always been hard core into dabke. I was actually in a group when I was younger. At weddings and parties they usually have a couple of lines happening

[@fafamedo9679]

You can see dabke all over Mesopotamia including Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, PALESTINE and even the Bedwins of Sinai and comes in many varieties. It's a celebration dance for thousands of years in here (middle east).

[@salehsaleh5773]

okay First I absolutely loved this reaction. I liked the connection you both have, But as a lebanese myself this had me in tears 😂, the "Dabke" is a traditional type of dance that's done by multiple people as you saw, It's performed mostly during weddings, parties, and other occasions. but make sure you do cardio before performing it 😂❤️ all love man great reaction 👌

[@ramiabdo5953]

What kind of food? Mujadara! Which is a kind of overcooked lantel and onion, it's nickname is "the nails of the knees". Very famous Arab dish. Check it out.

[@H88fayyad]

i'm lebanese basically there is no difference in men and women in this dance, the better you are the closer you are to the front, if you are confident enough in your moves you can become the leader. men are seen more in the lead in this dance because it requires ALOT of leg and core strength, which is more commonly found in men than women, but we don't discriminate, if you are good you can go to the front

[@Roy-lu2wd]

Im Arab and Dabke for women and men since the beginning of dabke history , but everyone only shares men's videos

[@FayesFood]

Women tend not to be as intense with the dancing. The men go crazy with it lol.

[@aquatic_atlas]

@@FayesFood they like having fun

[@seeso_k]

Dabkeh is traditional dance for Palestine , jordan, Lebanon and Syria. And it can be performed in celebration or night clubs or even at home. Its for both men and women. There's some light moves if someone doesn't know much about the dance or if the ladies are wearing heels or dresses. It's not about food, it's about doing it for long enough just like working out for long makes you fit. Luv u ♥️

[@codymatta9741]

U should definitely go to lebanon u would love it

[@chlupl]

This type of dancing is regional. I'm Greek Orthodox (not Greek.. I'm a convert), but this is very familiar, lol. If you ever get invited to a Greek wedding.. go. The food and fun are something you'll never forget. Obviously, the dancing isn't always the impressive, but I've seen some killer dancers in my day.

[@yaseehenta9711]

Greeks does not dance dabke! I’m sorry 😀

[@honeybunnycutie]

it's pronounced deb-kay with the emphasis on deb. you should google the video of the former leafs player nazem kadri doing the dabke with other leafs players at his wedding.

We're not really Arabs tho. Arabs turned their backs on us like everyone else. We're Phoenician, Canaanite, Levantine, the West of the Orient.

[@diongibbs312]

It is not just Arab. Palestinians always say they are NOW Arabs but Shemitic. It's their dance too. Lebanese are Phoenician except in culture like Syrians are not Arabs too except in language. Great people's.

[@vladpopescu9986]

This is not Arab culture. Dabke comes from the Thracian culture, ancestors of the Phoenicians. You can find the same type of dance in the balkans too, in different styles.

[@diongibbs312]

@@vladpopescu9986 it was Pheonecian and Shemitic Palestinian expression. Like traditional Chinese ethnic dances, Siberian Russians dance just like the Irish Morris Dance.

[@achilleuspetreas3828]

Lebanese are not Arabs..."Arab" culture is only the culture of the Arabian peninsula. That's it. They don't have Dabke, they don't have our food, and they don't have our history or genetics. The only thing they have that we do is the same language and for a lot in Lebanon, the same faith, but my family is Christian and they spoke Aramaic so at the end of the day, we are NOT Arab. Be proud to be Lebanese

[@lynnegulbrand2298]

Oh to be young again. In the 70s before the revolution in Iran, we had military students from Iran that would train at our base here in Mississippi. Once a year at their new year celebration, usually in March they would have a big party. It was the best time of my life because the men would dance and we would watch. I love the traditions from other countries especially the Middle East, they sure know how to party, and without alcohol so they are on a natural high just having fun and making great memories. I miss that so much.

Actually, debke is a dance for everyone for men and woman, in the history before women were dancing this more beside men, but that because they were more strong and they were more interested in this dance these days they are less dancing because less women want to, but no one is stopping them from dancing. It's genderless dance and it Actually has a cultural meaning "standing shoulder by shoulder and hand by hand like brothers and sisters if one of us fall we raise him up again together even if we are different doing different stuff or believing in different things".🧑‍🤝‍🧑👭👫👬 #Sorryformybadgrammar, I hope it was clear enough.

[@hughmoore3251]

👍 That was super interesting and fun to watch. Never came across this before, so have no answers... I actually had some of the same questions, TBH. Also got the vibe that the leader was like an orchestra conductor - but their orchestra was the other dancers. Definitely felt like they were controlling the "pace". Very cool.

[@FayesFood]

The leader isn't a conductor or anything like that. It's usually one of the better dancers at the wedding and one who is brave enough to be the leader of the line. You have to be on your game to be the leader as you set the pace for the rest of the dancers. But yes, the leader of the line has some kind of prop usually but not all the time. Handkerchief or cane typically. And it's pronounced (dahb-ka)...the ka is more like the "ka" from "okay" and it slightly sounds like que in Spanish.

A lot of weddings have the women in a separate (party) hall, that’s why you see more male ‘only’ dabke’s.

[@Sandra727Is]

It’s a Middle Eastern dance not just Lebanese, us girls do it too, it’s easy and fun and there’s a slow version of it too

[@righteoustruth8524]

Why do you call it Middle East? Did you know that the Israelis made up that term?the Zionists, the enemy of the Arabs the proper term is west Asia. Middle East is not a continent. American media spreading that Middle East term so Israel can conquer all the Arab's territory.

[@willamartin6658]

It is pronounced like "dub key". It is very usual to have this line dance going on at weddings and other celebrations for Lebanese. If you go to a Maronite Catholic Church, you can participate in this dance at their festivals.

The one at the end is the leader and always hold something in his hand to guide the line, and the one next to him is the supporter and he must be strong to support the leader balance. Dabke is performed by men and women either together or separate.

[@theblossombella3756]

Dabke is a women and men dance since back in the days(you could see a lot of Lebanese old theatre or even older as they would always mix the dance. The Karakala group is a famous Lebanese dabke group of all time). It is originated from Baalback the city of the sun when this man wanted to impress a gril he loved with dance moves and from there this dance started to go wider across lebanon where you have different types of dabke based on area in lebanon and different moves for men and women. Other Arabian countries also adapted the idea from Lebanon and created their own versions of it. Usually the stick, tissues and rosemaries be held by the main lead of Dabke also you would move based on the beats whilst moving. Usually you would switch with the one on the side when you feel tired or so lol but yeah it is just to also give others the chance to dance as well.

[@waeljabbour1037]

The comments covered most of ur questions! Anyways i feel the need to answer about some points: 1- it’s not only Lebanese it’s a Levantine dance especially the style in the videos ( Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine ) and there r different versions in ( Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the gulf region in general) but they might not call it dabke! 2- there are also similar collective dances in Eastern Europe, Turkey, Iran, Armenia Georgia ) 3- in this version the first guy is the leader and the free styler , the second man is the supporter of the first man and he also passes the rhythm to the rest of the chain! The more far u r from the first man the simpler ur move gonna be or u can start ur own chain! Sometimes in big gatherings u can find a chain inside a chain inside a chain 4- the women absence here is because these are weddings ( high heels , dresses) and these guy wonna show off so they gonna do some aggressive risky moves that aren’t easy for the women party dress code! But u always can find exceptions ! Also some cultures don’t mix a lot in the dance and that is another reason too 5- the tissue , cane, sword, beads in the hand of the first guy is a symbol of leading the chain plus to keep his free hand occupied so the neuromuscular organization is much easier! Sometimes when he doesn’t ’t have something in his hands he simply keeps it behind his head so it doesn’t bother him ( u can’t understand this point until u try dancing 😉) Sorry for the elongated comment and hope it’s a help! And i think u already got it right because u guys were smart trying to figure out the new things u experienced ! 👍🏻 keep it up!

[@carolineblew9046]

I just discovered the name of this dance and looked up its origins...apparently it comes from when people would make houses out of mud...in the winter the roof would crack, so the men would go up on the roof to fix it...part of fixing it was stomping your feet, the neighbor men would come and they would all grab hands...furthermore they would sing to keep warm...so it seems that becoming a traditional dance was the next logical step...love this video
