Organizer of Rakkas Istanbul International Oriental Dance Festival.
A 10-year-old Turkish boy arrives in Arabic countries. Living there for 3 years, he was charmed by the oriental dances of the Arabic women at festivities such as weddings. The sound of their music touched his soul and opened his door to dance. Back in Turkiye , he goes deeply into the Egyptian and Turkish style bellydance. The working out process on especially body sensation, muscle control, and lightness gets its reward when Serkan performs for the first time at the age of 17.
Not only in Türkiye but also in Germany, his numerous performances are a great success, and soon he decides to share his experience by teaching the dance that has swept away his heart.
