Amazing Dabke Dance at an Arab wedding
tags:
Stumble ThisDabke (Arabic: دبكة; also transliterated as dabka, and dabkeh) is the national dance of Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. Dabke is associated with a distinctive genre of music, and the word Dabke may refer either to the dance or to the music (or both).
It is danced by both male or female with different steps and different rhythms being more common in different areas of the Middle East. Dabkeh is a dance of community, often performed at weddings and other joyous occasions such as family parties or competitions.

Why then would the one dressed in silver be holding her hair like that 1:40-2:00?

I like the fact that when the money gets thrown onto the stage, they actually have to move, since doing what they where doing on a now loose surface, would have meant that this video ended up on break rather than youtube.
^I'm gonna guess it's because the Arab world is very large, and only a few places actually mandate the traditional dress codes. We're seeing a lot of the repressive side of the Arab traditions in the last few years, but that doesn't mean they all live that way. Far from it. That would be like looking at Utah and thinking that all westerners practice Mormon traditions, when in fact only a small percentage lives that way.
So you're saying that only a small percentage of Arabs live by the Islam traditions (hijab)?
Can anybody explain why they are dressed non-conservatively (no hijab or whatever)... is this an arab wedding in the west or do the rules lax this much at family functions like weddings?
All the tables are empty so this is definitely a rehearsal, if it's even for a wedding. Also, the attire doesn't match an Islamic wedding - even if the family wasn't conservative, traditional clothes would almost definitely be worn.
A burqa is worn when a woman leaves the home, so it may not be required in a closed indoor setting.
You wanna see amazing? I'll get you a video of a square dance back home, where it's rocking so hard that there is actually a cloud of condensed sweat in the gymnasium, and you can feel it collecting on your skin. Now THAT's amazing!

Nobody said they were Muslims.
The info on youtube says "Two girls in a discotheque in Syria". Not sure why Farhad thinks this is a wedding but I'm not saying he's wrong, either. He probably knows the culture better than most of us.
"Some say it's mystic
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie
You can't resist it
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie"

Ewwwwww.
I said it's a wedding because I have seen things like this at a wedding, Dabke is usually performed at weddings.
The empty tables and so on is natural, usually weddings last until 5 am and most people leave while the core family stays to celebrate further. I had to stay at a wedding till 4 am once filming. It got crazier the less people were there.
And jesus please stop homogenizing all arabs into neat lil' Islamic boxes you developed watching Fox News.
