Hey,

Does any of you know if there is a yearly big major belly dance festival in Turkey?

May I know who is organising?
Date of the festival?
Any websites, where I can find more information?

Thanks.

No, it doesn't exist yet, but soon there'll be a weekly oriental dance contest on one of the TV channels I'm sure the selections will pass very rough. There'll be thousands of people in the queue.

This is a dilemma...
Most of turkish people(99.9%) wants his daughter not to be a belly dancer, but usually like watching any other one...
Biz buna ikiyüzlülük de deriz bazen

The turkish women are always ready to stand and start to do belly dance. All of them (fat or old) think themselves as a belly dancer. Who is Shakira? There're thousands of them here
(and I like to do it as well )

When I see it in "those people"s eyes, I think it's different because in one you do it to entertain "the others" (men), but in the other you do it to entertain yourself, and also you have to wear very brave costumes if you're a belly-dancer.
But according to me it's another type of dance, and as every dance it has art and aesthetics in it when you do it really well because there're a lot of cheap belly-dancers around who just shake their fat. But I appreciate very much the ones that can do it very well.

On my own, just watching and trying myself. I have had a lot of chance to watch them on TV,and here and there, but the bad thing is that on every music, now, I'm likely to dance oriantal. But ofcourse I cannot still do the best figures of oriantal which is trembling all your body very rapidly just with the moves of your muscles, if you have seen Asena, you'll understand.

Ah and watch the coming belly dance contest on ATV if you have the chance. ehehe I'm looking forward to it

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the response. The reason why I asked is because I have bee learning/performing belly dancing for the past 4 years. I perform publicly and privately (but never in all men event). I have been engaged in various corporate, govement related events.

I would love to upgrade my skills in turkey. Thats why I asked if any of you know any festival in turkey.

Please share with me, if you know of any famous schools etc...anything related to belly dance. Thanks!

hey vonny,

i know of some bellydance workshop festivals that will be held in turkey in september 2006.

1) 3rd Annual FESTIVAL ALATURKA!
Dance and Music Festival in Istanbul September 2nd - 10th 2006

http://www.folktours.com/camptur.html

2) Oriental Camp in Istanbul September 12th - 21st 2006

http://www.orientalcamp.com/indexi.htm

3) there is also a music and dance centre near bodrum that offers classes all year round

http://www.turkishbellydance.net/

i unfortunately can't make the first 2 in september this year, but i'm hoping to make it to the ones next year if they hold them again.

otherwise, it will be option 3).

another option is to pick a professional turkish bellydancer and email them to see if they will be in istanbul (or wherever) when u think u will be there.

u can try asena, tanyeli, sena yildiz, princess banu.

Hey gezbelle,

Thanks. You know what, actually I was suppose to take workshops with Sema Yildiz this week in Singapore! But it got cancelled due to some reasons. I already paid for the workshops.

So the organiser replaced Sema Yildiz with Seda Jurin (the sister of Tanyeli) to teach us instead. Seda Jurin is Turkish of course but based in Sydney. But the girls were disappointed during class because we all expected Sema Yildiz But she was not here.

Hey i am looking forward to chat with you on msn.

Why yes I understand with much clarity the point you are trying to get

across and I agree. Many of thousands of girls belly-dance, and many

are the best that are from Turkey why of course, in my opinion.

Personally I used to bd a lot. As of last week I started doing the Flamenco/BD/Shimmy routine I made up and it was fun and I was still okay/good at it,

though it´s feels worng somehow, to do...it makes me feel less responsible

to dance like the Turkish women, and so I just go for walks and let this life

pass me by now {#emotions_dlg.koffie}

Drat, I was wanting to watch this and found it´s no longer on youtube.

I found these rather amusing videos Aşuk ile Maşuk and then this....and here is a Flamenco Romany version...at a Romany wedding.

Then there is Zadiel a Zenne dancer...........
