Halay
Halay (Assyrian: Khigga ܚܓܐ, Greek: Χαλάϊ, Kurdish: Dilan / Gowend , Turkish: Halay, Zazaish: Gowend,Azerbaijani:Yallı) is a popular dance in the Middle East.
Halay is traditionally played on the zurna, supported by a davul, but in the recent years, electronic instruments have started to replace them. Typically, Halay dancers form a circle or a line, while holding each other with the little finger or shoulder to shoulder or even hand to hand with the last and first player holding a piece of cloth — usually called "mendil" (from Arabic). It is a national dance in Turkey and Armenia.
Halay in weddings
In many Assyrian, Kurdish, Syriac, Turkish, Turkmen, Aramean, Arabic, Persian,Albanian and Greek weddings, people dance Halay for hours. Every region has its own style and forms.
