The story

Jordanian Folklore Dance Festival in Amman/Jerash

A Jordanian Folklore Dance Festival spanning Amman and Jerash most likely refers to the dabke and traditional dance program within the long-running Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts, which regularly features around ten folklore troupes performing inside the Roman ruins at Jerash each summer, rather than a fully separate standalone event.

The Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts, founded in 1981 and staged each summer inside the floodlit Roman ruins of Jerash roughly fifty kilometers north of Amman, has long built folklore dance into its core program, with past editions fielding around ten folklore and traditional dance troupes alongside more than two dozen singers and a full slate of poets and writers.
