The culture of Turkey is rich in art, architecture, and music. Turkish art is defined by calligraphy during the Ottoman Empire and intricate marbled paper techniques. Architecture evolved from early mosques designed by the Seljuk to incorporate courtyards and fountains under the Ottomans. Today buildings are becoming more modern. Turkey's diverse musical traditions are reflected in regional dances like the standing shoulder-to-shoulder Bar dance, group Halay dance featuring unique instruments, fast-paced Horon folk dance of the Black Sea region, and tempo-changing Zeybek dance typically accompanied by drums.

Sociallife In Turkey
Social life in Turkey is influenced by climate, geography, traditions, and religion. In coastal cities, the temperate climate allows for an more open social life where people spend more time outside interacting in cafes and restaurants. Meanwhile, in mountainous inland areas the severe climate leads to a more closed social life centered around the close-knit family. The Turkish Republic modernized social norms through Ataturk's reforms in the early 20th century, promoting secularism and equal rights. Today, among youth aged 18-40 in large cities, social life revolves around relatively liberal family relationships, meeting friends in cafes and restaurants, and participating in sports, arts, and travel.

Dance is an expression of life through rhythmic movement. When dance develops patterns and organization, it becomes a specific form. Cave paintings suggest dance existed in the Paleolithic period. Primitive dances were used in tribes for survival and transcendence, using repetition and rhythmic movements. Ritual dances later represented civilization and mythology. Folk dances reflected social expression through familiar motifs. Theater dance forms like ballet and Indian dances incorporated gestures and complex movements to express emotions. Modern dance emphasized individual creativity. Notable Filipino dancers who advanced Philippine dance include Frances Reyes Aquino, Leonor Orosa-Goquingco, and Lucrecia Reyes-Urtula.
