Unleash Your Inner Rhythm: A Journey into Turkish Oriental (Belly Dance) in Istanbul

Have you ever felt the mesmerizing pull of a bellydance rhythm, the allure of flowing silks, and the powerful, graceful energy of a dancer who seems to tell a story with every movement? What if you could not just watch, but become part of that story in the very heart where this art form thrives?

Welcome to an unforgettable opportunity: the Turkish Oriental Bellydance Workshops in the magical city of Istanbul, offered by Les Arts Turcs.

This is more than just a dance class; it’s an immersive cultural experience designed for everyone—from absolute beginners taking their first steps to seasoned dancers looking to deepen their connection to the authentic Turkish style.

Why Turkish Oriental Bellydance?

While bellydance is celebrated across the Middle East and North Africa, the Turkish “Oryantal” style is uniquely powerful and expressive. Known for its dynamic energy, vibrant costumes, and a strong, playful connection with the music, it’s a celebration of life and femininity. It’s not just about steps; it’s about emotion, confidence, and joy.

What Awaits You in the Workshop?

Held in the inspiring and historic atmosphere of Les Arts Turcs, located in the cultural hub of Sultanahmet, this workshop is your gateway to mastering this beautiful art form.

• Expert Instruction: Learn from renowned, professional Turkish bellydance instructors who live and breathe this art. They provide patient, step-by-step guidance, ensuring you feel supported and encouraged throughout your journey.
