RIYADH: The third “Diriyah Home of Saudi Ardah” initiative, which teaches young people between the ages of 12 and 17 about the history of the Kingdom’s traditional folk dance and how to perform it, has begun.

The event is organized by the Diriyah Gate Development Authority, which said it aims to “establish the historical value of Al-Ardah dance, boosting the participants’ pride in their authentic identity by connecting them to their rich heritage.”

Ardah remains popular among Saudis because of its festive nature and its use of accompanying poems that inspire national pride and glory. (Supplied)
