Makani Dabkeh and Drumming Circle - May

Makani Cambridge invites you to a series of monthly Dabkeh and Drumming circles in Cambridge. Whether you're a seasoned dancer, drummer or a complete beginner, our circles are designed for everyone to enjoy.

Dabkeh is a captivating group dance that involves a moving half-circle of individuals holding hands, set to rhythmic folk Levantine music. It is known for its energetic and joyous movements, which bring people together in celebration.

Drumming is one of the oldest forms of human expression, using rhythm to connect people, share stories, and uplift spirits. No experience is needed—just follow the beat and let the rhythm guide you. It’s a joyful, hands-on way to relax, energise, and feel part of a larger community. No prior knowledge of Levantine rhythms is required, and the drums are on us—though you’re welcome to bring your own if you have one!

• Beginner-Friendly: No prior knowledge or experience in Dabkeh or Drumming is required.
