Dancing is a huge part of the Greek Cypriot culture and the community enjoy to have a good dance. There are many different traditional Greek dances such as
- Syrtos
- Kalamatianos
- Pyrrhichios
- Hasapiko
- Ballos
- Karsilamas
- Tsamiko
- Syrto
- Aptaliko
- Zeybekiko
- Tsifteteli
Nevertheless the dance which is most common is Syrtaki which is known as Zorbas Dance.
In my performance, I will be incorporating moments of the traditional Syrtaki. I am planning to interact with the audience and hopefully they will be willing to attempt in dancing the Zorba, to enhance the Greek party theme.
