Meet Hodjapasha in Istanbul

The Sema ceremony, also known as Hodjapasha, is a Sufi dance that is a religious ritual and a communication with God, an act of spinning around in a long skirt, raising hands, and feeling the universe, creation, and movement. If you are planning to visit Istanbul, watch the Sufi dance and experience Turkey's religious history and culture.

Learn about Sufism

SemaZen, which means a person who dances the Sema dance, wears a long hat and a skirt that flares out towards the bottom. The purpose of the Sufis is said to be to become one with God. To this end, the Semazens concentrate and perform through dance and song.

Everything is in harmony, including the music that goes with the ritual, the venue and atmosphere, and the Semazen's costumes, so you will feel as if you are immersed in Turkish culture throughout the performance.
