Whoooo, Loubna you are a Didem Fan(atic)!. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed getting to explore her style. She has a very modern technique and she executes the drum solos very well (it seems to be her specialty!) Are these clips from the Oryantal Star show in Turkey? And is her style representative of the current trends in Turkey? However the poor musicians lookd bored having to watch her dance to taped music!

I love watching her.

She has a particular body type i.e., very flat ribcage and stomach from the side combined with very long torso, that makes undulations and rolls look other worldly, love it

Didem dances weekly at Ibo Show, which makes her probably the best known dancer of Turkey these days. Before her that same show introduced Asena so it is a great show for dancers to get lots of fame and Ibo seems to have eye for good dancers (and pretty women) and Ibo himself a.k.a. Ibrahim Tatlises is one of the most famous singers of Turkey (many claim that he is the most popular singer of Turkey but as none of the Turks I know like him so I really cannot tell... I myself do not like him too much either as I think he is dirty old debaucher... uugh, how he looks Didem on some of those clips )

Anyway Didem is still very young (20 or 21) but she has danced since very young. She is Rom and has a family of musicians which is of course a good background for a dancer (but pleeeez do not say that she can dance "because it is in her blood" )

I think that she has obvious talent and as Gabi said her stomach rolls and shimmies can be spectacular and she is very flexible but I would say that she is still searching for her own style as e.g. some of her older drum solos look very similar to Asena´s style and as her body type and presence are very different from Asena´s that style does not seem to work too well on her (she is so girlish and "cute as a button" when Asena is more distant and regally elegant)... I do not care of her interpretations of Egyptian classics either as there should be more emotion and less flimsy chicken wings hands but then again when she dances more Turkish style she is absolutely adorable - and those few times she has danced with live music she seems really come to life so I think she really should use more life (and Turkish) music as I think that is also what Turkish audience likes the best (and Ibo´s band for sure could play wonderful music for her).

Oh well, when I manage to find some clip of her I really like then the next time she does something that looks really bad in my eyes but I guess that is typical for young dancers and it is not easy to create something new for each week. But WTF was that last clip If someone decides to dance to the music and lyrics they do not have any idea about why on earth they try to mouth the words - and as this dance is from one of my very favourite Bollywood movie Nagina (danced originally by divine Sridevi) it just feels a sacrilege to dance this with a wide smile even though movements are skillfully copied (original clip can be found from YouTube)
