| Article: | Native Palestinians bring their message through folkloric dance Saba Nader and Ola Haniya are both 16-year-old juniors at the Evangelical Lutheran School of Hope in Ramallah, a Palestinian city in the West Bank. Since they were small children, they have been practicing dabkeh, a traditional form of Palestinian dance.
The students, members of the school's Al Raja Palestinian Folkloric Dance Troupe that performed Thursday night in Beatrice, consider dancing a way to reach out to the rest of the world. Al Raja, after all, means “hope.” |
