It all started in 2015, when a group of Dutch and Arab friends thought that dabke could be a way to build bridges between Western and Arab culture. While preserving the traditions, they brought the Dabke -a popular dance from the Middle East- to the Dutch dance floor. The Dabke Nights have become a household name in the Netherlands and one of the most inclusive evenings in nightlife.
