Dabkeh


Two things my one-time dabkeh lesson taught me:

1) Dabkeh is on a 6 count, which is why it was so freaking hard for me to figure it out when I first got here. (Most Western dance is done on the 8 count.)

2) Those beautiful embroidered dresses that the women wear on special occasions (older generation and rural women wear them more regularly) are unbelievably hot! I was absolutely sweltering in it and had to pull it off mid-class.
