Abstract :Anatolia has a profound dance tradition. Turks who migrated from Central Asia established a new civilization in Anatolia, thereby adding to the cultural characteristics of civilizations from ancient times. The acceptance of Islam also plays an important role in the establishment of this civilization. Dance is an important expression of identity and one of the cultural components of Anatolia. The concept of traditional Turkish folk dances today has been the focus of attention of many researchers both from Türkiye and abroad. The joint work of Turkish and Serbian dance researchers, which started in the late 1940s and early 1950s, was interrupted for many years. With the encouragement of Selena Rakočević, one of the important dance researchers, Daniela IvanovaNyberg, Mehmet Öcal Özbilgin and İdris Ersan Küçük came together, and international research was carried out in the Black Sea region many years later. The research that they carried out is reported in this article.Keywords : Trabzon, Artvin, ethnochoreology
