This dance is known as “Trabzon kolbastisi” and also called “hoptek” and “dance of faroz” in Trabzon city. Kolbasti dance first appeared in Faroz (a small street) in Trabzon. After 1980, it became populer all around Trabzon. After 1985, it s started to known in other cities. Dance music usually comes from Giresun and for this reason it revealed a discussion between 2 cities. Because it s called Trabzon kolbastisi, not kolbasti.

Actually, Trabzonspor made a great contribution to introduce this dance all around turkey. Especially after the matches Trabzonspor footballers celebrated their win with a kolbastý show.

Normally boys sit down and form a circle. 2 person dance in the middle of circle together. Every couple performs a figure and changes to another 2 persons with a different figure.  

there are many figures in this dance. Casting a net or pulling, pulling fish, slapping, heart massaging, sword-shield (famous turkish dance figure ), oaring etc.

Thanks Janissary, good job you are here to hold up the side.

 hehe!

 would like to dance kolbasti with me???

This is sooo cool! Wow, in that video of the students dancing at the university....the guy in the purple shirt has MEGA energy...he didn´t take a break once!! Very cool dancing!

 Only if it is permitted that I wear my Fenerbahce shirt while doing so

 OOO,

ok forget Kolbasti!!!

you can only do crab dance with fenerbahçe shirt.

 Fenerbahçe is a football team in turkey.

WE dont like fenerbahçe much as a Trabzonspor fan

 I will treat that comment with the contempt it deserves!!!

 Close.... "Fener" is referring to a lighthouse which stood in the district,  "garden" is the area it stood on

 fenerbahçe wont like that kind of description.

coz they believe that they are "republic of fenerbahçe" not a lighthouse in the district

 However my definition is correct, to my knowledge..

I aggree this definition dont worry

 Trabzonspor is a football team in Turkey.  Most people only support them when they are playing Besiktas or Galatasary!!

 You give Fenerbahce a capital ´F´ but not Turkey?

This is insulting Turkey!! I must become Mod to rectify this situation

 you are provaking me now!

Trabzonspor is a legend in turkey. coz we are Trap-zone)

we are the first and last champion team of turkey Anatolia except istanbul teams (beþiktaþ, galatasaray, fenerbahçe).

 Little me?

"Except" is an important word in this sentence!

 you can find many reasons to warn or delete me, you dont need to look at my mistakes.

insulting is not my job
