If you ever wondered the dances of Turkiye's weddings, here is a workshop for you. Join Ozan and Daisy at their home to lose yourself in the flow of Turkiye's traditional dances.

In Turkey, in a living of comperatively conservative cultures and traditions we live, weddings are a important element of people socially expressing themselves. A lot of people could meet at weddings and then get married. Therefore, halay and other folk dances are an important way of self expression.

Although this starts as a social expression, it is also a great meditation when you can feel the balance of the mind and the body in the flow of the music. That's why, we truely find all kinds of folk dances unique and definitely advice all travelers from different cultures to come experience these feelings with us, at our home environment. Being in our home, you will feel very comfortable to let your mind travel freely and hopefully experience these feelings.

Once you go up the bridge and go accross the street, the location is 5 minutes walk away. - From Taksim area; Take metro M2 to Mecidiyeköy/Şişli.
