The Dabkeh And Like Skills Project - a partnership between Ruba Al-Souri representing Wa’ad Youth Organization, and Anas Abu Oun representing El-Funoun Palestinian Popular Dance Troupe
The project aims to develop a collaboration program through research and dialogue between El-Funoun Dance Troupe in Palestine and Wa’ad Youth Organization in Jordan. The project involves creating a Dabkeh dance troupe and training a group of trainers to maintain the sustainability of the project, that simultaneously focuses on the Dabkeh dancer as a person who has an impact on his/her community and as a conveyer of a cultural identity through Dabkeh.
