Kardelen Turkish Dance Ensemble

The Kardelen Turkish Dance Ensemble is dedicated to promote the rich and diverse culture of Turkey through its dances.

The Kardelen Turkish Dance Ensemble was founded in Washington, DC in 2004 by a number of individuals who are dedicated to promoting the diverse, rich and vibrant culture of Turkey through its dances. Kardelen’s dances provide a glimpse into the lives and celebrations of the Turkish people and take audiences on a cultural journey through the villages of Asia Minor, or Anatolia as Turks call it, to

the royal Ottoman palaces of Istanbul. The Ensemble takes its name from a resilient Anatolian mountain flower. The word “kardelen” means “one that pierces through the snow”. The Kardelen is Turkish for "snowdrop," an early-blooming flower which survives under hardship and severe weather circumstances.
