Several months ago, I had the pleasure of coming across dancer Nejla Yatkin, who resides in Washington, D.C. She was being interviewed by a Turkish-American cable access program in Fairfax, Va.
As it turned out, Yatkin had not only performed many times in the Washington, D.C., area, but also, around the globe.
This summer, she has been in Guatemala, France, the UK and Germany- where she grew up.
Yatkin is currently performing at a dance festival in El Salvador, but this fall she has many engagements on the East Coast.
From Sept. 27-29, Yatkin will be at the Dumbo Dance Festival in New York.
From Oct. 29-Nov. 4, she performs at the White Wave Dance Festival, also in NY.
On Nov. 12, she will be performing in Washington, D.C.
Then, from Dec. 14-18, she performs at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in Florida.
Yatkin has many dance videos available on youtube, and on her own web site (see link below).
Another feature of Yatkin's web site is her travel blog. She has some very interesting stories, including how she witnessed a police officer scuffling with a photographer during a military parade in Guatemala_ a country that I had a chance to visit in 2005.
