Top Traditional Dance In Turkey

FOLK DANCES OF TURKEY:

On the border between Europe and the Middle East, facing three seas, straddling important trade routes, Turkey has an ancient and complicated culture, which is reflected in the variety of its dances. However, its dance traditions are dominated by the influence of the Ottoman Empire. The dominant dance forms are types of line dance. Turkey is divided in to these cultural regions, which have distinctive dance styles. Trakya (European Turkey), Marmara (on the coast of the Sea of Marmara), Karadeniz (North-Central, on the coast of the Black Sea), Central Anatolia, Eastern Anatolia, and Southeastern Anatolia. The costumes worn by the dancers are often very colorful and they represent happiness or are very dull when doing a slow, depressing dance. 

Participating in a Turkish festival was the most welcoming part about Turkey. Once you see the crowd eagerly waiting to take pictures with you it makes your heart melt at all the little faces. During this Turkish festival they made a pastry for all of us and they gave us these red, juicy and delicious cherries.We danced in a circle at the festival and even got filmed for a television show. 

This short video will give you a small version of Turkish festivites.

The girls that participated in the traditional Turkish dance wore these stunning costumes and gave their all in their performance. The bright colors of red and gold attract the audience to watch the performers. A great marketing tool to focus your audience and their attention. 

Turkish Blue Tile

When I was in Istanbul, my host family had invited me over to their uncle's house for dinner. He had a beautiful blue tile that I was fascinated by. It was by their fireplace and he had told me that it was all hand made. I started to think how long would it take someone one to hand paint a piece like this and put it together. 

History of the Blue Tile 

Tiles are a big part of decor all around the mediterranean and Turkey. The art of Turkish tiles can be traced as far back as the 8th century. There are many rich cultures that are passed down from generation to generation within the Turkish tiles. It started with the Uighurs of the 8th century and later was influenced by the Seljuks and became full bloom in the 13th century. The Seljuks were skillful in mosaic tile that they used for interior decoration, vaults and walls. In the late 15th centure begins the Ottoman era of tile and ceramic making.The Sultanahmet Mosque in Istanbul is famously known as the Blue Mosque because of the tiles. 

Ceramic tiles play a big part in Turkey's economy. Other than oil and carpet, ceramic tiles are also one of the main tourist attractions and exportation products. In the ceramic world, Turkey is one of the largest ceramic producers and exporters in the ceramic tile and sanitary ware sectors.
