HBB Dabke started in Laval because the dance deserved to be taught with a real structure instead of picked up at weddings.
Co-founder and instructor, 15 plus years in Dabke
Joseph has been dancing Dabke for more than fifteen years, and he is the reason HBB has levels and exams at all. He wrote the curriculum, he sets what each level has to be able to do, and he runs the end of session evaluations. He is patient with beginners and completely uninterested in passing someone who is not ready.

Jean-Claude also has more than fifteen years in Dabke, and he handles everything that happens in front of an audience. Formations, wedding entrances and the performance team are his. If you have seen an HBB group open a wedding in Laval or Montreal, he choreographed it, and he was probably the loudest person on the floor.
At Habibi Dabke, we are dedicated to preserving and sharing the beautiful tradition of Lebanese folk dance. Our school provides a welcoming environment where students of all ages and skill levels can learn authentic Dabke techniques while connecting with their cultural heritage.

Levels, a written curriculum and an exam at the end of every session. You always know where you stand.
Half our adult beginners have never had a lesson in their life. That is normal here.
Level 5 students teach with us or get paid to perform. The ceiling is not a certificate on a wall.
Pick your program, choose your session, pay the 50 dollar deposit and your spot is held.
