Sirtaki
The sirtaki ( sirtáki or syrtáki , in Greek συρτάκι ) is a popular Danse of Greek origin .
In spite of its world famous, it is not a traditional dance authentically of Greece. In fact, it was created in 1964 for the Film Zorba the Greek of mixture of a slow and fast version of the dance Hasapikos ( hasápiko / χασάπικος ). The music is of Míkis Theodorakis.
A notable distinction of this music is its tempo which accelerates gradually, the rate passing of 4/4 to 2/4. The steps, slow and close to the ground at the beginning, become lighter and more jumped.
The sirtáki comes from the Greek Syrtos , indicating a traditional group of Greek dances with a particular style opposed to the Pidikhtos, which supports the style jumped or with rebounds. In spite of that, the sirtáki incorporates the syrtos as well (slow) that the pidikhtós (fast).
The sirtáki is danced in open circle or line, the hands on the shoulders of the neighbors. The formation on line is more traditional.
