SUMMARY:Dabke ~ Building Community through Dance!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a family friendly cultural experience focused on the Dabke Dance\, a traditional Arab line dance from the Levantine region that combines rhythmic stomping and synchronized footwork. Dabke is practiced at weddings and community gatherings as a joyful expression of unity and cultural pride. The dance is deeply tied to the land and widely believed to have evolved from a mix of ancient agricultural rituals and community building practices- literally stomping mud and straw to make mud houses. Dabke dance is full of enthusiasm and energy bringing people together hand to hand and its people and land! \nInstructor Sandra Sarrouf M.A. is Faculty with Cal Poly Theatre and Dance and Director of Cultural Creations Collaborative. She advances work at the intersection of culture\, art\, and justice\, fostering learning and collaboration across differences. Passionate about cultural sustainability and informed by her lived experience as an Arab American woman\, Sandra weaves together her expertise as a DEI trainer\, facilitator and traditional artist to build community. Her radiant joy and deep cultural pride is most evident when she shares her heritage through dance\, music\, and community. \nClass will begin with a brief introduction by Rachel Alijilani\, co-architect of SLOBG’s Oak Glen Pavilion\, who will give a brief overview of the benefits of using natural building materials in architectural design. \nSLOBG Members – Enter Member5 for $5 off registration fee.
