YouTube - Turkish Bellydance

YouTube - Birgul Beray

The second video sadly has no sound and it's of her performing on the Beyaz show on Turkish TV.

That first clip definately is Oya and NOT Birgül - they both do dance at Orient House so maybe that can cause some confusion. You can see photos of them both (as well as one blonde dancer I do not know) at here. Oya is one with blue costume and Birgül with pink.

That Birgül clip is nice even without sound but it is from Seda Sayan show - not Beyaz show (but she dances with Beyaz - anyway who cares it is from TV anyway

)

I stand corrected

I found a website with loads of small clip's of Bilgur Beray at the orient house. It's like an "evaluation" of belly dance in Turkey I think. Didn't really look into it too much, just watched the clip's.

Check it out...

Absolutely no comments?

Sorry I only just now got notified of the post. That's Dilek, I've seen a few of her video's on youtube and think she's great!

She really made an impression on me especially with this performance...

YouTube - Dilek

I love her stlye so much.

As at the discussion about best and worst performances so many said that Zümre is one of the worst dancers they have seen I thought that maybe we should give her some credit and show some better performance from her. I agree that her dancing on her DVD/VCD is bad but I have seen her dancing on TV and she is much better than on that DVD (I have no idea for what purpose that DVD is made

)

But here is one clip of her dancing at New Year 2001: not fantastic but definately not the worst dance ever seen either

As I have chance to watch YouTube clips only on weekends my comments are always a bit late...

I like Dilek´s dancing even though I think it is not particularly Turkish or does not represent authentic Rom dance. For that it is too polished and also choice of her costume and music reminds me more of "american gypsy dance" like one by Dalia Carella (and I love this style but it has very different feeling than Turkish)

I find it a bit funny though that on other clips by Dilek where she dances "common belly dance" she seems to have much more Turkish styling... she also reminds me of another Turkish-born dancer Fatima Serin, who also looks more western with her styling than Turkish because of Egyptian/Western dance training. Both are fantastic dancers though

Here is one clip of Fatima:

Does someone have a youtube clip of what is real turkish roman dance? I thought the music playing in this clip is some version of Mastika, is that right?

About the Zümre clip... wow is that really the same girl? So she can dance. Then why on earth does she make those weird cheap looking porn like videos?

I agree this clip shows her in a better light, maybe she had formal lessons or is it because she was dancing in front of a live audience?
