Turkish Transcendental Dance

Dive into the dynamic world of Turkish Damat Halayı, a traditional group dance that blends rhythmic repetition with emotional intensity to foster connection and collective
energy. In this workshop participants will learn the foundational choreography—a sequence of simple, repetitive movements designed to synchronize with accelerating
music. As the tempo intensifies, dancers are guided into a trance-like state where the structured rhythm dissolves into raw emotional expression. This progression engages
the nervous system, promotes emotional release, and encourages a profound sense of group cohesion. Grounded in cultural authenticity, the Damat Halayı offers
participants a unique opportunity to experience the somatic and communal power of tradition. This workshop challenges superficial perceptions and explores themes of
identity, truth, and unity through movement rooted in cultural heritage.
No prior dance experience is necessary. Come ready to explore a vibrant intersection of tradition and human connection.
