Turkish night
« on: September 13, 2015, 09:19:40 AM »
Help please....We have family coming to Hisaronu on wednesday Sept 16th to. wednesday 23rd... one of our group wants to experience a `turkish night` at a hotel ( belly dancer, but also folk dancing group etc )
We contacted the Yalcin Hotel but they only do it every other thursday and its not next week
Can anyone please recommend any hotels locally who are doing one on a thursday / friday/ or saturday / or monday evening ?

Make sure it is a Turkish Night.  A lot of the Belly Dancing is not a Belly Dancing exhibition. The girl does a bit of dancing then drags men from the audience and makes them strip to the waist, put's scarves around  their necks and then procedes to make them "dance" with her.  IMHO very embarassing and not what a lot of tourists would want to see.

To be honest, we were both surprised when Kayakebab suggested Yakamoz. We've stayed at Yakamoz Hotel very many times over the last 16 years but have never seen one of those Turkish nights, all we had was just some very funny nights with the staff dressing up. They may do them now but I'd contact them first to find out. ;D

You can suggest that, once you show us the poll you have done of the tourists who want this.
A traditonal Turkish Night, should be that and it is something I would very much like to see and not the tired old belly dancer getting men up to make a fool of them 
I bet, like us when we saw our first Belly Dancing show, new tourists expect the woman to give a dancing exhibition.  We would really like to see a proper belly dancing evening, but it would seem there is no such thing.

  A couple of years ago I was treated to an authentic Turkish evening at the Lagoon Hotel. There was

  a belly dancer and a dance troupe in traditional costume, approx' six men & six women and they danced

  for about 1 hour. A couple of the dances were the Turkish equivalent of the sword dance, but using large

  daggers. An enjoyable evening ( with no audience participation ).

We went to the   Yalcin Hotel on thursday night and was not disappointed  !!  the food spread was  excellent   .. yes  there was the usual belly dancer routine we have seen so many times before  as Jacqui  described   but  the rest of the entertainment was superb....  folk dancers.  knife throwing act,  a  female contortionist, and a very good  breakdance act ... around Hisaronu the Yalcin would be a `hard act to follow` as a `turkish night`  and all  that for only  £11   per person  !!!!
