Testimonials
“Dearest Fairouz - I want to thank you and Sonia for a WONDERFUL class. We had so much fun and learned so much. You are both such great teachers - and dancers [...] We are so grateful that you took the time out to teach us.”
“I fell in love with dabke and it was really a gateway for me to learn more about Palestinian culture. Thank you so much for being amazing teachers on such a lovely, life-long gift. Dabke will forever be with me.”
“SO much fun. Thank you for the amazing instruction!! Today was really special. Loved dancing with you all- and loved seeing all the other beautiful performances - felt a sense of solidarity and a little bit of resistance through dance that I think we are all seeking right now. ”
“One of the best parts of being in DC has been your dabke class. Thank you so much for offering this awesome dabke class and to the incredible and patient teachers who made this class so fun. I never thought I would actually improve in dabke here in the US and in DC no less.”
“A huge thank you to Malikat Al Dabke for being the most amazing teachers!”
