Michelle,
I was looking through your bio on you website and noticed that you were trained by Sema yildiz!! I've seen several youtube clips and love her turkish oriental and (especially) her romany dance. Ever thought of sharing a little bit of this knowledge or creating a set of videos on turkish bellydance?I'm certain it would be a success, as there are very few turkish instructionals in the bellydance market. I can only think of artemis' Iamed dvds, Dahlena's american karshilima, and Sarah Skinner's am-cab/turkish dvd. The market seems to be dominated by egyptian/american-egyptian and tribal/fusion styles.

Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Tue, October 21, 2008 - 2:57 PMthis girl actually is pretty much of an amateur, but great dancer isnt she??
this was the oriental dance "star search" aired in Turkey called Oryantal Star..
This dance is pure "Gypsy" Rom dance.. not Turkish or Kurdish style dance of any kind. maybe you could call it "Turkish Roma" style :)

Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Sun, July 13, 2008 - 8:54 AMi'm tellin' ya - for Turkish Rom - Jessiah Zure! -
-
Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Sun, July 13, 2008 - 9:40 AMJessiah Zure? I don't know her. Are there any video clips of her anywhere online?
So.... people are wanting both Turkish Rom and Turkish Oriental? Who would you suggest for Turkish Oriental? -

Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Mon, July 14, 2008 - 11:29 AMAradia in Vegas does some great Turkish Oriental and Rom. She does more Lebanese and Egyptian these days, but I know her first style was Turkish when she was younger. I took her workshop on The differences in Egyptian, Lebanese and Turkish Oriental dance in New York and this girl rocks. She can teach anything, including just about any folklore you could imagine, she is way versatile!!!

Sat, July 26, 2008 - 8:44 PMAradia would be great for orietale and Elizabeth strong for Rom. Artemis would be wonderful too but i think she may be working on her own series of turkish instructionals. At least, that is what her website says.

Fri, October 3, 2008 - 4:45 PMEva Cernick! She is the best teacher, and has no instructional dvd's out. Such a waste! -

Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Sat, October 4, 2008 - 11:47 AMI think so too..
I am curious for her style, she s soo famous.
As for Turkish, I love the style, but there s not much "good" one out there I ve seen.
I know Turkish better than Arabic (which is not so hard given my Arabic :)) ) , and am in a Turkish community family-wise, so I ve grown pretty close to the culture,
as for Turkish bellydance I find a lot out there pretty disappointing.. the dancers on Turkish television in many cases are so-so (not a huge fan of Didem nor Asena, to be honest), and a lot of the "Turkish" style in America is pretty much of a fantasy.. not that it s not interesting, but I was always puzzled by the skirt dance which looked so much more hispanic than anything Turkish to me when I saw it..
Judging from an article by Elizabeth Artemis Murat there were misunderstandings in the reception of this style some 30 yrs ago in the US, where ppl made a fantasy dance and others believed it was typically Turkish.. I d love to see authenticity, if that s doable at all... :) -

Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Sat, October 4, 2008 - 5:28 PMI should add that Eva is one of Nanna's teachers, I think.... -
-
Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Sat, October 4, 2008 - 11:52 PMThat makes her even more interesting as a teacher - i love Nanna s style :)
There is too little available of her! SHe s got such a big name, but for "Newcomers" or "outsiders" to the US scene like me, I have never seen her dance online, sadly (nothing on youtube, no dvds...)
would be a great idea, and fill a gap I think.. -

Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
Wed, October 22, 2008 - 9:39 AMRuby in Bellingham, WA is really wonderful as well. She has been traveling to Turkey for the last couple of summers and is really the only one on the competition circuit right now that consistently performs with real turkish stylings. She does amazing floor work too.

Floor work starts around 3:30 -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

One 2-disk set for Rom, one 2-disk set for Oriental. And maybe a bonus chapter on playing spoons? -

Re: How about a Turkish instructional??
