Engin, That sure was a treat. I've always loved the Irish step dance and other European traditional dances, but never had the pleasure of viewing the varieties of Turkish traditional dances. Thanks for taking the time to post all that. You must really love your culture and your country.

If I tried to do the dance that you posted from your part of the country, I may never walk again! I'll have to settle for watching. May God bless Turkey and your part of the world!
