FOLK DANCES FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS ARE KEPT ALIVE IN KUŞADASI

The free folk-dance courses organized by Kuşadası Municipality Folk Dance Academy Sports Club (KUŞADANS) are attracting great interest. Children, young people and adults who attend the courses given in the city centre and Davutlar and Güzelçamlı districts are introduced to traditional cultures from different regions of Türkiye.

The free courses of KUŞADANS, established by Kuşadası Municipality to introduce Kuşadası residents of all ages to folk dances, continue. In addition to contributing to the cultural and social life of the city, the courses, which are given with the aim of passing folk dances on to future generations, can be attended by Kuşadası residents aged 5-7, 8-12, 13-17 and over 18. The courses, which teach folk dance figures from the Aydın, Muğla, Konya, Fethiye, Bodrum and Gaziantep regions, are met with great interest. The courses are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in the hall on the ground floor of the Tarım Kredi Kooperatifi İş Merkezi, and on Wednesdays in the Davutlar and Güzelçamlı wedding halls.

“MY SON IS LEARNING OUR CULTURE”

Cevat Beyhan, who lives in the Yavansu District, stated that he found the folk-dance course organized by Kuşadası Municipality very useful and said;

 “I bring my son to the course every Saturday. My son meets his peers here and finds the opportunity to socialize while also learning about our culture. I would like to thank Kuşadası Mayor Ömer Günel.”

Zeliha Güçlü, a housewife, said;

 “I am very interested in folk dances. That is why I regularly attend courses. There is a very wide folk-dance culture in our country and learning about them makes me happy. I also bring my daughter to the course.”
