The Paris-born Okur, whose dreams came true when he first joined Madonna onstage before an audience of 60,000 in September 2008 as a dancer during her world tour, was busy rehearsing for the upcoming performances of the tour last week, but took some time to answer a few questions on the phone.
How is Madonna’s behavior towards her dancers?
In my opinion, Madonna is more of a beautiful mother than an artist. … She approaches all of us just like a mother. She cares about our comfort, and she approaches with love and protection just like a mother does.
In a documentary, I watched Madonna gather her dancers and pray together with them before her stage shows. Did you also pray with her?
Yes, of course we did. Among her dancers there is also another Muslim dancer named Norman, who normally lives in Malaysia. Madonna knew we’re Muslims. She heard us read al-Fatiha [ahead of a performance] in one corner, and she listened to us. Just two days later, while we were about to pray all together before the show, she said to us, “You read ‘al-Fatiha,’ too.” She is so unique and so special.
Which Madonna song gives you the greatest inspiration for dancing?
My favorite song from her Sticky & Sweet Tour is “Beat Goes On.” Actually I was chosen as a choreographer, and I prepared the choreography for the song “Heartbeat.” You will see it when the tour’s DVD comes out. I love the song “Heartbeat,” as well.
Any hints for approaching Madonna or any guidelines for getting a chance to become a dancer for her?
Actually, there is a hint. Madonna likes things she has never seen before, things that are very unique. A brand new dance undiscovered, brand new music undiscovered. She liked my slow-motion numbers when she chose me. … Madonna likes original and very different things, and she is not afraid of giving it a try. She is open to novelty. If you want to approach her, you have to come up with new things.

Chris I just want you to know that I fucking HATE you. I bet you don’t have one single friend. You COCKHEAD!
Why? what did he do to you? are you in his story?
could this be any more ridiculous… of course yaman isn’t gonna say anything bad about her he has a tour in 2 days all her dancers know where their paychecks are coming from
I’ve been trying to get her attention but she keeps deleting my comments. She seems to know when I’m online. Anyway I have this great idea about a reality show starring Madonna. So Madge if u see this comment, think about it! It could be Incredible!
awesome! yaman is my favorite of the sticky and sweet tour dancers.
i’ve seen clips of him here and there on Youtube,
he seems iike bit of a Parisian douche-bag,
and from the looks of this article, he’s also a kiss-ass
but, perhaps when all is said and done, he might be
a really cool person to hand around…as long as your Madonna
did you know that Madge makes her dancers give her all their semon to put all over her face to keep her skin silky smooth?
Haha! This is classic!
This comment coming from the Lord of Douchebags
and the BIGGEST Madonna ass-kisser ever!
Classic! I guess takes one to know one huh?
“the Lord of Douchebags”
looks like you’ve burned
your own self with that comment
now THAT was “classic”
ha!
who uses the word “burned” anymore?
only a douche like you!
(yet again)
you need only read your
reply to me to figure that out
keep contradicting yourself – -
your great at it
haha!
