Oh, now see, we did not know that (some of us). Thank you for your clarification, because it was definitely odd to some of us. I had no idea that was somewhat traditional of Turkish dancers. Could you post another example (other than mine, is what I mean) of Turkish dance like this? I really appreciate your response!
(But the tassels on the back of the skirt, is that a common trait also?
