Traditional Dancing | Sirtaki/Syrtaki
Traditional Greek dancing, specifically line dancing is so special to the culture because Greek’s believed that the Gods only gave the talent of dancing to certain people. The dancing includes dancing in lines and circles, constantly hopping and quick foot changes – although it may look easy to do, once you try and jump in you realize how intricate each step is.
The entire group lit up as we watched the locals play traditional music and dance. There is just something about the authenticity of sharing this experience over a candle light dinner vs. going to a rehearsed performance. The quaint size of the room, low lights, and the opportunity to join in on the dances is what really made the night special.
