  • THIS IS TURKEY

    THIS IS TURKISH FOLK DANCE

    TURKISH HATERS GAYREEK PEOPLE,GOT IT?

  • @TomDavid88 First of all Sultans of dance is a dance group that dances traditional Anatolian and Turkic folk dances in new ways. No one is saying these are the dances in their original form. No one even claimed that. Instead you came here claiming this wasn't Turkish but Irish .. tell me sir, how many times have you been to Turkey? How much do you know of our culture? Now all of a sudden it's western commercialism which makes even less sense then the Irish comment. "that said I think SOD suck"

  • Ok these guys, with this music, ARE JUST TOO SEXY!!! sorry.

  • @yklocnykl Umm... this sure is Turkish folk dance, but aren't you being a little rude? :x As a Turk I don't really hate Greeks, I respect people's opinions...

  • Isn't this similar to the irish river dance??

  • if greeks argue about the origin of things central asia and the orients keep everthing alive and in original texts

  • @TheScythnomad But the origin of these bagpipes (called the "gaida" in Bulgaria) is unknown, and is found throughout the entire region, not only in Turkey. If it was a uniquely Celtic instrument, we are left with the problem of why they were never found in either France or Germany, where the largest Celtic populations existed. Perhaps it speaks to seperate development in Turkey and, for example, Scotland, not any sort of tribal linkage.

  • @TheScythnomad Thank you for the links. As I don't know a word of Turkish, it is very difficult for me to find links like this, so, I've subscribed to your channel. I'm interested in finding a sort of "hawk dance" found in Anatolia. It seems to have spread to Greece as well as Bulgaria, but only in Turkey is it still done in groups of men. Certainly all the links you provided were 100% traditional Turkish dance- very different from above.

  • @TheScythnomad And who ever said the Celts, as a tribe, dance like this? Why don't they then also dance like this now in France and Germany, where there was the largest populations of Celts? You just don't know Western commercialism when you see it.

  • Turkish People wear clothes,which are very long and you can't see the face of them and If this is Folk Dance, why are they wearing clothes, where you can see stomach? :?
