This is part 2 of my interview with Annie, dancer and researcher from London. Annie is studying and doing research on the Palestinian Dabke dance, and is working closely with the Palestinian dance group El-Funoun. El-Funoun is based in Ramallah in the West Bank.
In part 1, we talked about the history of Dabke, on what occasions would you see the dance, and the incredibly innovative and beautiful choreography of El-Funoun. In this episode, Annie and I talked about what we learned from our Palestinian friends from Palestinian, the solidarity scene in London, the BDS movement, and the fact that there is so much more we could learn about Palestinian culture: food, music, dance, and so much more. We will continue to talk about Palestine.
