Abstract
This article presents a historical, ethnographic and practice‐based study of dance education in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The concepts of dance learning, hegemony and counter‐hegemony are analysed in the context of cross‐cultural interventions in politically marginalized communities, and the theoretical concept of anti‐hegemony is introduced and defined. This is followed by a historical overview of dance learning in Palestine/Occupied Palestinian Territories. Specific contemporary local dance learning processes are examined within the performing groups El‐Funoun and Sareyyet Ramallah. This leads to recommendations on how improved dance education praxis might enhance local cultural autonomy and support anti‐hegemony as a cultural ideal.
