Greek Dancing are you good?

Prokomenos · 01-11-2007, 05:53 AM

How many of you on here consider yourselves good in Greek dancing? Myself I am definately not a dancer Im terrible at and like doing it but I enjoy watching Greek dancing.

I don't have good knownledge in any dance, but I use to dance Kalamatiano and Tsamiko (in marriages, feasts etc.).

I also dance some Zembekiko, but only in front of family members, not in public :D.

I want to learn Hasapiko and Pentozali. I thought of going at a free dancing school - maybe in the future.

I used to be in a dance troupe (with the church) up until high school. I was pretty good. I can still dance the basics, like the kalamatiano, syrto, tsamiko, syrtaki, zeimbekiko. I learned a lot of bouncy island dances too, which I have now forgotten.

Im alright nothing special when it comes down to dancing besides the kalamatiano and some zembekika.

Sto kalamatiano kai sto treximo eimai o protos.

Still pretty good although limited functions on my side have reduced my opportunities to dance. My cousin in law, a lounge singer and musician, God bless him,tries to play a couple of Greek songs every time I'm at his club. But as much as I love him, when you hear Never on Sunday done to a cha cha beat you want to kill yourself.
I used to be able to dance the xasapiko; not any more and it's the one I miss the most. Anyone know of any tapes or DVDs that teach dancing. I just need a refresher course. The end of the movie Zorba is great but I can't see enough of the footwork. Ideas anyone?

Yes in fact I always dance when I am at clubs that play live Greek music. I can dance Cretan dances, Peloponesian dances, Xasapiko, Kalamatiano, Zembekiko, and Tsamiko.
