In partnership with Amos Trust and Bethlehem Cultural Festival.

Step into the rhythm of Palestine! The dancers of the Alrowwad Dabke Troupe will lead this special one-hour workshop, sharing the joy, energy, and tradition of dabke — the powerful communal dance at the heart of celebrations across the Middle East.

No experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm. This workshop is inclusive, fun, and full of life, with all ages welcome (children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult).

And the experience doesn’t stop there. Immediately afterwards, you can stay on to enjoy a programme of short family-friendly films, followed by the Alrowwad troupe performing live on the Arnolfini stage. (See separate entry.)

All donations from this year’s festival will go to Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), providing humanitarian assistance as well as health and social services to Palestinians whenever and wherever needed. You can donate when buying tickets.
