Dabkeh

Dabke
Dabke (Arabic: دبكة; also transliterated dabka,dabki and dabkeh) is an Arab folk dance native to the Levant countries only. It is popular in several arab countries such as Jordan , lebanon, syria, Palestine and Iraq. It is a line dance that is widely performed at weddings and joyous occasions. The leader of the dabke heads the line, alternating between facing the audience and the other dancers.
Dabke in Arabic is literally " stamping of the feet." The leader, called raas ("head") or lawweeh ("waver"), is allowed to improvise on the type of dabke. The leader twirls or string of beads known as a masbaha (similar to a rosary), while the rest of the dancers keep the rhythm. The dancers also use vocalizations to show energy and keep up the beat. The dabke leader is supposed to be like a tree, with arms in the air, a proud and upright trunk, and feet that stomp the ground in rhythm. At weddings, the singer begins with a mawal. The raas or lawweeh takes the lead. Everyone does a basic 1-2-3 step before the song kicks in.
There are many types of dabkeg , people still argue about the story on the origin of dabkeh , But Dabkeh was introduced and popularized to the world in the 20th century by the Lebanese composers Assi and Mansour Rahbani and singers like Zaki Nassif, Fairuz, Wadih el Safi, and sure many other singers.
