Dance troupe

Ibdaa's renowned dance troupe of ten boys and ten girls has perfomed in festivals and events in Palestine and more than ten countries around the world. Through traditional folkloric dance and theater, the troup depicts the history and aspirations of Palestinian refugees.

Ibdaa has produced three generations of dance troupes. Youth are involved in all aspects of the production, from stage management, choreography, lighting, sound, dance performance, and public speaking. When one group graduates, they take on the responsibility to train the next.

While the first generation of dancers has moved on to university studies, the second generation performed this summer for the last time as a group in the USA. The third generation of dancers toured Sweden and Greece this year; they and the second generation are now training approximately 60 youth for the fourth generation. They are currently working to develop a new set of performance pieces.
