Dabke (Jordan, Jerash)

Under the Jordanian sun , in Jerash , a group of men dance the dabke , their hands tied and their feet rhythmically striking the ancient paving stones of the Roman site. This traditional Levantine dance , still practiced during family celebrations and popular gatherings, demonstrates a strong connection to the land and the community . Here, the collective gesture is transmitted without artifice, between friends, in the heart of a place steeped in history.
