The zeybek or zeybeği is a Turkish, Turkmen, or Afshar folk dance, named after Zeybeks.
All zeybek dances have a common characteristic form, but the positioning of the arms and body differ according to the different regions. The rhythm is also very characteristic, a rhythmic pattern of a slow nine beats: 9/4 = 2+2+2+3 beats or 3+2+2+2 with occasional variations.
Zeybek melodies can be divided according to their tempo: (ağır) slow and (kıvrak) fast . The ağır zeybek have rhythmic patterns of 9/2 or 9/4, which begin with an introduction called gezinleme in free style where the dancers wander freely and start to dance in a proper time of the rhythmic pattern. There isn't a gezinleme introduction in female zeybek dances. Kıvrak zeybek have rhythmic patterns of 9/8 or 9/16.
