Kurdish Dance !

[dyaoko]

even our enemies confess that our dance is beautifull...

at least in Iran, dance and music are a things that Kurds are known with !
unfortunately because I was born an "assimulated kurd", I dont know Kurdish dance. what about you ?

Is there any way to learn kurdish dance ? any tutorial ?

I hope somebody one day make a good multi media tutorial for kurdish dances.

Northern Kurds and especially Western Kurds have many dances and are very good. But I do'nt know all the dances. Once I danced in a wedding in Silêmanî and I was surprised, because people don't move at all, just walk quietly ! In Western Kurdistan, people jump like goats !

Once, in Diyarbakir, I ate in a restaurant-bar, it was the Newroz, and some people, seing French guests, asked that we dance with them... But youth did not know dance very well, and I showed them the manner... Later I learned that I made "guerilla dance" ! So it could explain the stupefied and happy looks of Kurds who dined in the room...

I saw a sema (Alevi celebrating) for Ashura in dersim and it was very beautiful.

Impossible...for a Newroz I thought I got it but they were all laughing at me fucking mountain turks

2 or 3.. Sorani dances are most dull compared to western and north kurdistan.

Okay. You have probably seen one or two dances from Silêmanî like the easy two-stepper and you think they are all dull. You obviously haven't seen the ones from Sine or Seqiz, or particularly, the Gûranî Kurdish dances.

I used to dance in a "professional" dance band and represented France in a kurdish european competition.
I later taught dance for several years.

Most of our dances were from the northern part or kurdsitan (Amed-to Silopi). When it comes to kurdish dance, I would say Amed and Silopi region are probably the ones I prefer! I do like the Alewi Sema, though, it's a bit slow for me.

Pilling, you probably refered to the well-known "Sherizdin" guerilla dance.
I'm surprised you danced it since the lyrics are so pro-apo...

Em Hemu Apoci ne Sherizdin Sherizdine
Em Hemu Apoci ne Berxe min ne lorine
Pkk partiya me Sherizdin Sherizdine
Pkk partiya me Berxe min ne lorine
etc... etc...

D...

[dyaoko]

wow Dilshad ! I wish you could teach me some dances.... is there any way tp do that ?

- there is a dance called Mariwani (a city in rojhelat) , in that kind of dance, ppl dont even move at all..
they all stand next to eachother,, and all they do is moving their ass .
ahead . backward, ahead backward...and doing somethings with foot but not walk at all...

there is another dance which is called "Shele Shele" (shel means somebodyî whose one foot is injuired...and cant walk on two feet ...)

You know I guess that this dance exist before the PKK and its song ! but they use it because it is very simple.

[pepula]

im sorani but can do 2 north kurdi dances...the four step one and the bouncy one. and i can do the badini duhoki ones
i know the rojhelati dances the one where u turn and everything
but sorani dancing is fun if u make it...some old people dont put much enthusiasm into it otherwise a good helperke or se paye is a lot of fun.

[Mosul]

your sorani? didnt you say you were yezdi? i thought all yezdis were bahdini?

[pepula]

nope sorani...kerkuki
but i love ezedis...man i got respect for them

Hehe.. Silemani yes. I not mean the dances from East-Kurdistan. But off course Silemani also have more difficult dances. But most people do the easy ones .

[Mosul]

so your not yezdi?
