Our Story
From Berlin to communities across Europe, Yalladabka keeps Dabke alive through culture, connection, and movement.
Our Dabke Story
It started in 2016 at Görlitzer Park, Berlin. Two friends, no funding, no concept — just Dabke. YallaDabka was officially founded in 2017. Since then, workshops, training sessions, and community events have connected people across Germany, Europe, and Morocco through rhythm, movement, and belonging.
Our Vision
We envision a society in which the spirit of Dabke brings people closer, strengthens belonging, and supports collective resilience in communities, workplaces, and everyday life.
Our Mission
Our mission is to share the living tradition of Palestinian Dabke through workshops, performances, and cultural sessions. By connecting people through rhythm, movement, and storytelling, we create spaces where trust, pride, and solidarity can grow.
