Dating back to Byzantine times, the performance of&nbsp;Turkish dance&nbsp;is deeply ingrained into local culture. Colourful, rhythmic and energetic, the art form is traditionally performed at weddings, celebrations and social occasions. And what better excuse to celebrate than with a night spent in the Turkish capital, drinking and dining to your heart&rsquo;s content?
