Dabke ((アラビア語:دبكة)) is a modern Levantine Arab folk circle dance of possible Canaanite or Phoenician origin. It is a dance performed in Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and north Saudi Arabia . It is a form of both circle dance and line dancing and is widely performed at weddings and joyous occasions. The line forms from right to left. The leader of the ''dabke'' heads the line, alternating between facing the audience and the other dancers. In English, its name is also transliterated Dabka (In Meranau language),"dabki", "dabkeh", "debke", "debkah", "debki", "debka". ==History== The Palestinian dabkeh jumps may or may not have origins in age-old Canaanite fertility rites which reflected the increasing growth of plants. They were used to scare away evil forces and protect the security and growth of seedlings.〔 According to Yazbec, the Phoenicians were the first teachers of the dance in the world, and the dabke is a representative descendant of the Phoenician dances.〔 According to one folk tradition, the dance originated in the Levant where houses were built from stone with a roof made of wood, straw and dirt. The dirt roof had to be compacted which required stomping the dirt hard in a uniform way to compact it evenly. This event of cooperation is called ''ta'awon'' and from here comes the word ''awneh'', meaning "help." This developed into the song ''Ala Dalouna'' ((アラビア語:على دلعونا)), roughly translated, "Let's go and help". The dabke and the rhythmic songs go together in an attempt to keep the work fun and useful.〔http://www.sourat.com/dabke.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「dabke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
