Dabke Night

Dabke Nights brings authentic Middle Eastern vibes with live acts, DJ's, a workshop for beginners and definitely the best vibes of a club night where everyone feels welcome!

Whenever there is a celebration in Arab countries – from a wedding or birthday to a festival – it is done with the performance of the dabke. Dabke originates from countries like Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Iraq. It literally translates as ‘stomping’, but is actually a folk dance, where the dancers dance in a circle to rousing music. Dabke Nights brings authentic Middle Eastern vibes to the club night with live acts, DJs, a workshop for beginners and definitely the best vibes with a club night where everyone feels welcome.
