Melting Any Heart! by GulThe 9/8 rhythm of the Turkish Rom music is considered to be unusual and unique. Those who dance it are proud of the way they can move their body and translate their steps and movements to the complex rhythm, even in the countries where this dance is almost routine. In order to "catch" the music and its nuances, you either have to wait or speed up your steps. Once you cross that hurdle, the dance becomes very simple: the style of the hand is free, and you can combine your own movement ideas–just as all Gypsy dancers do–as long as you match the tempo!
This dance of the Gypsies is about becoming a life-like character. It contains a wide range of moods and feelings for the dancer to express: The gray quality of everyday tasks turns into colorful dance that does not distinguish between the relative value of one color over another.
This form of dance speaks to one on the level of the heart, and that ’s why so many love to dance it, even if they are not from the Rom culture. One does not have to be beautiful to dance it either, nor does it require one to be ultra feminine. Instead, it requires other capabilities, such as being true to the way you are in life and expressing that quality within the dance.
Here are some ways one might count the rhythm:
1- 2, 1- 2, 1- 2, 1-2-3 (the hard way) or 1-2-3, 4 5 (the easy way)The Gypsy dance serves as a messenger of the Rom people for others to view their living conditions through the dance: their beliefs, work, or their personal characters, and all of these things add up to power within the dance. For the Gypsy people, the dance also compensates for the difficult lifestyle they must live. The colorful costumes of the dancers divert one’s attention away from the poverty they often endure. Women decorate their hair or scatter it over their shoulders. They dance in dresses and full skirts, and sometimes, even more than one skirt!
