There has been far too little good quality instruction available for Turkish Style. Here, Suzy Evans, President of the acclaimed DVD producer, IAMED, puts that to rights.

Turkish Style is enerjetic, passionate, joyous, assertive and spontanious. It uses agressive hip moves, complex pelvic articulations, exciting zills, powerfull drum solos, sensous taqsim, fun stomach play, extended veil work and an array of mysterious gestures.

Learn with Artemis, Expert dancer and historian. First she teaches a brief history of the style, including the contributions of the Turkish Romany people, explaining how it is distinguished from Egyptian Raqs Sharqi.

Artemis expplains the slow and fast Romany 9/8 rhythms used in turkiush Oriental Dance, and the difference between the Romany 9/8 and the Cabaret Karsilama, demonstrating how the rhythms are used.

She then teaches the Turkish technique of isolations, articulations, turns and steps typical to this dance, with breakdown and demonstration. She also teaches the Romany originated hand gestures unique to the Turkish Oriental Dance. These include:
Knee & hip Punches;
Extension Chord;
"One Potato- One Potato"
Body Cuts;

She then puts it all together in combinations you can use in your own dance.

A fun performance by Artemis completes the programme.
