Dancing
Watch the Middle Eastern dance demonstration put on by our parishioners and get your dancing shoes ready for next year!
The young ladies of Holy Transfiguration practice traditional Middle Eastern dance for weeks to prepare for their cultural display at the Festival.
Traditional Middle Eastern dress and coin skirts lend authenticity and pizzaz to the cultural display of dance!
Dabke is a traditional Middle Eastern folk dance that is widely performed at weddings and other joyous occasions. Men and women join hands and dance either in a line or in a circle. The dance involves crossing the left foot over the right foot and throwing in a variety of hops. It's great fun and our dancers enjoy inviting our guests to join them!
Over the years, older teens have passed on the tranditional dance steps to younger teens, and new groups of guys and girls have joined in the tradition!
Donned in their beautiful embroidered dresses, Jennette, Randa, Anastasia, Mona, Natalie, Star and Marianne perform a Dabke dancing show for our guests.
We are so grateful to Sylvia for teaching our youngsters how to dance the Dabke! At each festival we alternate shows between the adults and the kids. The young ladies in this photo are having a great time!
Sometimes a handkerchief or stick is used during the Dabke, as is demonstrated here by two of our dancers.
This picture is one that truly will bring smiles and tears to the eyes of Holy Transfiguration parishioners, as it includes Reema (second from left), a shining light who left this world too soon. She and her sister Randa (far right) loved to perform the dabke with Jackie (far left) and Jennette (third from left).
