Dance and music have been an inseparable couple most of the time in the expression of senses and thoughts on the stage of history. Paralelly, also in the Ottoman society, there were dancers that applied a set of special dance techniques and special music forms that helped these dancers create their art. The artists, that danced by performing sexual patterns and that were named "Kocek and Tavsan", were valued as the most important dancers of this course. "Tavsan" were distinctly important in this course with their special techniques that they specially performed, with their dressing and with the music form which was formed peculiarly to them. These artists who were put to special dance and music education in Ottoman palace both performed their art in entertainment venue outside the palace and fulfilled their duty of cupbearing in the pubs. Among the peoples such as Jews, Greeks, Arabians and Turkish who took part in Ottoman Empire subject and who had great ability on this field, especially Greeks took part in this field. The musical form which was performed during the dance was called "Tavsanca". Instruments such as lute, classical kemancha, cymbal and tambourine which served to the dance music in a period and which were called "kabasaz takimi" were used in the performance of "Tavsancalar". In our research these topics that we talked about have been elaborated, and with the results that we attained some suggestions have been made in the conclusion part of our study by determining a set of differences and parallelisms within the context of topic.
