SYRTAKI (ZORBAS)
Syrtaki is a popular Greek dance, which was choreographed by George Provias in 1964 for the film Zorba the Greek from slow and fast movements of “chasapikos”, another dance. The music for syrtaki was composed by Mikis Theodorakis. The main feature of this dance and its music is the acceleration of the rhythm.

SIANOS—SOUSTA OF KOS
Sianos, Sia or Sousta, is the dominant dance of Kos in every feast, which always changes into Sousta or Cretan dance, as it used to be called. In Kos, they dance it more humbly, landed on the ground. Also, Sianos differs slightly in speed from Sousta.

MY RED APPLE---MILO MOU KOKKINO
It is a Greek folk song of Macedonia, which is danced to a 7/8 rhythm in an open circle, with twelve (12) steps, with the difference that in the last movement the legs go backwards, instead of forwards. It is similar to Kalamatianos, but it is much merrier, like most Macedonian songs. In central and western Macedonia( Kilkis, Pella, Florina, Kozani, Kastoria), it is accompanied by brass instrument orchestras.
