:shock:

Geeeez! These kids are good, REALLY good. They're better than most adult folk dance groups I've seen..they totally stole the show at the 23 April celebrations.

You are missing something special Lena!!

Thanks T_C...You have a good eye my friend....I didn't want to spoil it before but you are right about the adult groups not being so good. These kids are more believable in their dance than any I have seen. There gestures and facial expressions were magnificent. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing......

Thanks for trying to comfort me.

I managed to watch it....dont know why...but after Zan tried to make fun of me....it worked. What kind of dance is that...i know its Turkish (because its written on the title) but do you call that dance with a name?

That type of dance is called a 'Zeybek'. I believe the word is derived from Greek. It is characteristic of the Aegean coast of Turkey.. The open arms and the slow walking are in imitation of eagles in the mountains.
The Zeybeks were originally groups of people running away from the law. Bandits if you like. I watched some real Zeybeks dancing in the streets in Aydin (inland from Izmir/Smyrni) my hairs stood up. It was so graceful.

I was taught the Tavas Zeybegi in 1957 at Kophinou. I thought I looked silly in the too large home made costumes. I never appreciated the dance itself till Years later I came accross the real Zeybeks - al in their 70's and 80's.
