I'm not very familiar with the editing features in Wikipedia, but the link to "chepi" on this site leads to a stub article that has nothing to do with the Kurdish Dance (this Chepi comes from the word chep, meaning left). I don't know how to correctly redirect the link, so someone (possibly an administrator) who knows what they are doing should do this).

Yes it is by accident. Sometimes some words have more than one meaning. The link should be corrected. Jalalarbil 16:37, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Can someone tell me the name of the kurdish song you dance Chapi or Chepi with? Holding hands and going in the circle? Even better if I could get a link, thanks! :) (IF POSSIBLE)

Wikification

edit

I have just completed some wikification in an attempt to get this article moving forward. I also cleaned up some spelling and grammar. I am not an expert on this subject, so I cannot help much more on the content end of things. I hope this is a (small) help. Best of luck! LonelyBeacon (talk) 02:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Mixed-gender

edit
Its noteworthy that these folkloric dances are mixed-gender which distinguishes the Kurds from other neighboring Muslim populations.

This extraordinary claim is cited to a source from 1986. However, it seems highly unlikely that this is still true given the fundamentalist influence of the last 34 years. I just spent the last hour watching Kurdish dances on YouTube and didn't find an example of mixed-genders dancing. I will tag this claim as out of date.

I'm Kurdish and we dance mixed gender. It's not out of date. Please see this news article about Iran shutting down a Kurdish sports center because the Kurds were dancing mixed gender as an updated source. It was published in 2023. A lot of Muslim countries don't allow mixed gender dances, however we Kurds dance together.
