Ciftetelli : This urban dance originates in the thriving Turkish metropolis of Istanbul, whose population is a cosmopolitan blend of Turks, Armenians, Greeks, Kurds, Slavs, and others. Although a relatively modern form of dance, the Ciftetelli derives its origins from more ancient styles, prominent among these the Karsilama. Danced only by women, the Ciftetelli is made up of sensuous, undulating movements.
