"Learning Our National Dances is an Honor and Teaching Those Bless Sacredness"

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Folkdance is a glance, posture, smile, a heavy, proudly but a meaningful move, a jolly leap of happiness; speak with enthusiasm and keeping silence with a deep sadness. When Anatolian people begin to dance, their soul transforms to another dimension, release the body to the free flow of the emotions, and go into their inner serenity. The Anatolian people feel the sound of the drum as the pulses of their hearts, and combine the voice of the zurna with the inner music of their hearts; cheer, enjoy and make the public get enjoyed. It is to thank Allah for the good harvest He blessed. Folkdance companies the flow of time in village and town councils. At the weddings, it is the bride's lament and the thrill of the groom. Our folkdances are really unique and a different atmosphere and perceptions.
