Greek dance lessons at IPTS!
Greek dance (χορός - horos) is a very old tradition, being referred to by authors such as Plato and Aristotle. There are different styles and interpretations from all the islands and mainland areas. Each region formed its own choreography and style to to match the local traditions and depict the local lifestyle. There are over 4000 traditional dances that originate from all regions of Greece. There are also pan-Hellenic dances, which have been adopted throughout the Greek world. Some of these include; syrtos, kalamatianos, hasapiko and sirtaki.
