who is Ramazan Çelik? I was under the impression this type of dancing, the men wearing skirts is called zenne dancing. Zenne beint one who immitates females. Is this the proper or correct name? Someone told me it´s called koçek dance, however I was under the impression koçek dance was done by young boys in the Ottoman times, and as there is no longer a Ottoman Empire there are no more koçek dancers, or if they are, they are very underground what comtemporary standards and all.

Is the derivation of the word koçek is related to çocuk?

what is this called in Turkey today?

It´s not about if you like to watch or not. My question is what is it called, what is it´s cultural place? Is this a common folk dance, is it something done by Gypsies, is it something risque? 

Also, who is Ramazan Çelik?

Thank you gokuyum, however I was hoping you could share some contemporary insights into the current state of affairs and who/what is that Ramazan singer? What is what he, and those dancers on the show doing called?
