Shoruq Organization organized a successful artistic event on the 26th of October with the participation of the young children of Shoruq’s Music and Dabkeh Program. The two-hour event took place at President Putin Cultural Center in Bethlehem, and was attended by hundreds of people; the majority of whom were the proud parents and relatives of the children playing the musical instruments and dancing dabkeh. The event was a big success for Shoruq Organization, given the high satisfaction of the parents who were impressed by the children’s skills and performance.
It is worth noting that the children have been practicing their dakbeh and music skills for several months, under the supervision of specialized music and dabkeh trainers who provided them with weekly trainings that aimed to foster their art-related skills and develop their creative vision. Shoruq Organization decided to hold this unique event to show the noticeable progress of the children and reflect the significance of these trainings on the children, their personalities, and their skills.
The event was also joined by Shoruq’s main Dance Troup, who also participated in the event and performed new different dances they have been working on. The audience could see the contrast between the new and old generations. This served as an inciter for families to keep their children in these programs so they are able to progress, develop their skills, and reach the same level as the new generation.
