Hawiyya (هوية) | Identity

Join us for Zaytouna Academy’s 2025 annual show as we celebrate a decade of cultural artistry and heritage. Hawiyya (هوية), meaning "identity," is a breathtaking Palestinian cultural production that blends traditional dabke with contemporary artistic expression. Through dance, music, video projections, and stunning costumes, the show offers a magical journey into the rich and diverse aspects of Palestinian life.

Featuring over 70 dancers, ranging in age from 7 to over 35, this beautifully choreographed performance showcases the passion, resilience, and spirit of Palestinian culture.

The title Hawiyya symbolizes the deep-rooted identity of the Palestinian people and the unique cultural imprint of Zaytouna Academy. For the past 10 years, Zaytouna has fostered a sense of pride, belonging, and artistic excellence, empowering a confident and grounded new generation through the power of dance and storytelling.
