Why do people like the World Cup? Is it only sport? Or is it also the battle between two sides and a WINNER? What would happen if we took our Palestinian dabkeh dance and turned this into a battle of two sides and a winner? What if, instead of dancing at weddings, we would play football at weddings? Here we have a family: the father who thinks that only force and winning is what counts… and the rest of his family who thinks that perhaps the dabkeh is more fitting. This family will play against each other. And may the best team win… or dance.
