Folk dance is practiced in all provinces of Iraq, whether southern, western or northern; usually called the name of the region performed because each has a certain way of performance.

As it is called in some areas of the Arab world as "Dabkeh" and its performance also varies depending on the country, the Dabke of Iraq is not Dabke Sham, Lebanon, Jordan or Palestine, although the instruments are almost in common, such as drum and Oboe or Matbak and Naqara.

Al-Jobi's occasions are many, often associated with joy, whether at weddings, national celebrations, or religious holidays. In the past, they were the exclusive domain of men because of the challenge and show of the power of the clan and its youth to terrorize opponents.

Today, the social mixing and the withdrawal of some of the values ​​and customs of the city on the spirit of nomadism, made it common to all built girls and men, women and even became the fashion of clubs and concerts.

Three types mentioned by the Samurai researcher to "Jobe"

The researcher Abdul Jabbar Samarani in the folk traditions, that there are three types of Jobi, the first is for men and does not participate in the rings of women, and this type is common in central southern Iraq.

The second is shared by women and men mixed and perform the same movements, and spread in the north, Mosul, Kirkuk, Tikrit and neighboring villages.

Finally, there is a special type of women only from dancers to musicians and sometimes they use a boy to play the oboe and this type is found in the middle Euphrates.

As for the meaning of the word al-Joubi, no scholar has specified its exact meaning. The meaning of the word al-Jubi is: "A family name attributed to" Job: wood "in Persian, with J Arabic ratio, quoted from Turkish.

So I will take sides with the popular interpretation that it means "expanse of land", which is what dancers need to do their most effective work.

Technical requirements for the group leader

The Jobi ring begins to form with the first call from the oboe or drummer accompanied by his group, including the singer or vocalist, to the center of the square; while the circle expands to accommodate the dancers whose hands are firmly intertwined and their shoulders stack together as a sign of brotherhood and solidarity.

Usually the presidency or leadership is left to the most knowledgeable men of the Jobi art, occupying the front waving a rosary or handkerchief knotted; Players until the president separates from the group taking the role of "Maestro", which moves his players jumping or bending or curling of the bodies, according to the rhythm is common to all, amid the Zagarid women and firing shots.
