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[citation needed].
