Frequently Asked Questions

Oriental dance, one of the most agile and energetic dances in dance history, is especially known for beautifully expressing the flexibility of the female body. Often referred to as "belly dance" in Western countries, it is known as "çiftetelli" in Greece and neighboring countries. This culture dates back to Ancient times and symbolizes fertility and abundance. It is traditionally performed barefoot due to its direct connection with the earth. Women who perform this dance are called "dansöz," and men are called "dansör" or "zenne."

Oriental dance, which the Ottomans learned from the East in the 16th century, is now performed in three main styles: Egyptian, Turkish, and Lebanese. The dance involves a combination of hip and belly movements along with foot and arm combinations, all within a specific sequence. The steps are graceful and soft. The music plays a crucial role in the performance. Additionally, accessories like sticks, canes, snakes, swords, torches, candles, veils, and tulle are often incorporated into the dance.

Turkish women are more flexible than women from other countries – this is a fact! Because of this, oriental dance courses are particularly popular among women. Typically, in just 2 to 3 months of classes, we teach you the finer details of this dance. In our lessons, you will learn how to execute belly and hip movements, as well as hand and foot techniques, all while dancing in harmony with the music. Hip and waist movements not only shape the body but also help in weight loss. In our classes, you burn calories while having fun and learning at the same time!

Representing elegance and flexibility, oriental dance also requires attention to detail in its attire. Colorful, fringed outfits and flowing skirts add a special flair to a woman's beauty. Accessories such as cymbals, belts, earrings, anklets, bracelets, gloves, veils, tulle, and others are commonly used to enhance the performance and visual appeal of the dance.
