Sirtaki is a popular dance of Greek origin ,created in 1964 for the movie Zorba the Greek. It is not a traditional Greek folkdance, but a mixture of slow and fast versions of the hasapiko dance. The dance and the music (by Míkis Theodorakis) are also called "the dance of Zorbas".






GREEK MUSIC

Greece has a long tradition of music, going back to ancient years.Several gods and goddesses were connected with music and dance and the very word music comes from the Nine muses of ancient Greece. They were the course of inspiration for all artists and even today many artists speak of their Muse. We also have many musical terms from the Greek language: harmony, melody, tune, choir, orchestra, chromatic, scene, lyre, hymn, psalm, rhythm.And also bouzaki is important music instrument for greek.
