BUHOT Returns from Greece with First-Place Trophy

The BAU Folk Dance Society (BUHOT) returned from Greece in first place, representing the civilization and culture of Türkiye in the best possible way.

The Bahçeşehir University Folk Dance Society (BUHOT) won first place at the international folk dance festival and competition held in Paralia, Greece, between 26 June and 1 July. Performing dances from the İzmir, Zeybek and Van regions in the competition, BUHOT represented Anatolian culture in the best possible way with its 22-member team of dancers and coaches. At the festival and competition hosted by the Greek team, the BAU Folk Dance Society competed against a total of 12 teams, including folk dance teams from Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Romania.

Our team, which received great interest from the Greek public especially during the parades and performances outside the competition, was led by team leaders Okan Gürbüz and Erdem Kılıç, who said they were extremely happy to have given Bahçeşehir University the well-deserved pride of returning home with the first-place trophy after a year of work.

Following this success, BUHOT will participate as a "guest of honor" in the folk dance festival to be held in Beşiktaş, Istanbul, in the coming months, and continues its work without a break to achieve even greater success in the tenth year of its founding.
