Our travel group of eight thought this was such a treat. The Cultural Center does a very professional job showcasing the different types of dances in Turkey. The theater is in a semi-round and small which makes it easy to see the dancers. The building is beautiful. At intermission, complimentary refreshments are offered. My only complaint is that many members... More

we have been in Istanbul for a month and last night went to see the Turkish Folk dance night. The venue was great but the dance and music was spectacular. Don`t miss it, capped off a wonderful month. More

There are different shows at different prices. We saw the 90 minute show for 60 TL. The show is very professional and entertaining. You get to see different dances from different parts of Turkey. I'd absolutely recommend going there because it's time and money well spent. More

I went along to the traditional dance night, not really knowing what to expect - and it was fabulous. The music was chillingly poignant and the dancing was very interesting. High-lights included belly-dancing (I've since taken up lessons, it was so cool!) and a shamanistic dance. Absolutely incredible. More

Intended for tourists, nevertheless it's still an excellent choice while in Istanbul. Fantastic male and female belly dancing, several different dance traditions, lots of energy on stage, good live music, a great evening of entertainment! I highly recommend it. More
