I think this was my favorite episode so far. The dances from Epiros reminded of my late father, who was from the town of Yannina. We lost him a year ago, but I feel he's still very much with me whenever I listen to those Iperotikia songs and view those dances. He also like a good Zemebitoko dance too!
@@VasilisDance Wow, small world! I'm so happy to "meet" you Vasili! Yannina holds a special place in my heart and I hope to visit someday after this pandemic.

Omg ,you can lose a lot of weight doing these dances . Great exercise ,that's why you have muscular calve muscles . I am surprised there is no Greek aerobic village style dance class .
Gee I wonder why? Maybe to stole this dance from Greek culture? Try looking up tengrin religion And the music from that religion It is mongolmusic and singing That is turkish At
@@Makaidonas They stole nothing, they have a right to them just like you do because they are a mixed race just like you are and all of Balkans as well. Turks is just their current name just like your current name is Greeks but since the Hellenic times populations have moved and mingled. in 1980s Greece had over 600 villages that spoke Albanian/Arvanites as a first language and Izmir and the whole of western Turkey has a large population of Arnauts/Arvanites descent as well, just like in Albania there still are villages that speak Greek as a first language. Just because of the population exchanges after WWI do not think that there are no more Greeks in Turkey because only the Christian Greeks were moved the Greeks who had converted to Islam remained in Turkey. You yourself go get a DNA test and you will discover that only about 20% of your genetic make up is of the ancient Hellenes the other % is most likely Illyrian, Slavic, Roman, Levantine, Egyptian, Persian, Turkish, Arabic etc. etc.

I'm part of a circus here in America. I've introduced Cretan dancing to be a part of our choreography (since I am 100% Cretan). People in my circus call it mountain stomping. I love that
Usually, folk dances are boring to me but your dancing skills in your videos stuck me for hours on RUclips watching you. Speechless and a massive thank you..
You are a very talented dancer, able to incorporate accents of both the male and the female style of dancing. I really appreciate the video, keep making them, it is a great opportunity for the world to take a taste of the historic continuum of Greece's dance culture!
Vasili mou!!! Bravo!!! I just love the way you danced all of them with so much love and care and integrity and the female parts too!!! The whole concept was wonderful. Bravo Bravo Bravo!!
These are soooooo wonderful to watch! I'm Greek, a dancer and a film editor and these videos are just so captivating. I love how you capture the essence of the dances and pull us in with the video! Really well done.
Utterly gobsmacked by both the dancing and the editing. I noticed Cyprus didn't make the list, I guess they have their own set of dances. I wonder if the dances of Southern Italy and Catalonia were influenced by the ancient Greek migrants as well. Μπράβο!
Many thanks for the lovely dance journeys you have offered us you are very hard working person and you deserve anyone's rewards and recognition for such a work! You are Very talanded and dedicated to what you have done and doing ! Keep going we love it! Thanks again! All the Best ❣️!
My grandfather’s from were Epirus Chameria. It’s heart breaking the people to whom the dance belongs to, the chams, chamiko it’s now called Greek and and who ever is alive are not allowed even to visit their ruined houses! Chameria is not forgotten. By the way well done to the dancer.
The dancer thanks you for watching^^, but your comment is kind of ambiguous. A dance doesn't belong to someone specifically, especially in bordering regions. Cultural similarities, in other words. Tsamikos dance, though, was described as Kleftikos dance firstly and it was used by irregulars/klephts of the mainland. Even Swiss/German musicologists wrote down that "even though the dance means "of Cham people" Albanians didn't dance it." Also, have in mind that Chameria was a region, having both Greeks and Albanians being identified as Chams. I come from a region near and currently I don't see someone denying Albanians to visit. History is history, we also as Greek people have lost places and houses (mainly in Turkey now) and dances/songs have been Turkified for example. But they are things of the past, so they should be forgotten in a way, unless we don't like living in 2020 and we like living in 1910s or 1940s. I hope we will address our differences, find our similarities, understand we are all the same after all and live happily ever after.
@Agim Skifteraj The Pontiac’s are Greek . Leave the nonsense aside. Pontian dialect is old Greek. The dances of Pontus. Go back 3500 years. They original came from Sparta
Soo good to see such a variety of folk culture dancing love the girl and boy video edit style. Any chance you doing a dapke special or Lebanese dapke in particular.
I wonder if there's anything out there about how these dances changed and evolved over time. It'd be fascinating to know how similar or different these dances are to dances done by Ancient Greeks, or even further back with the Minoans
It is indeed very interesting! The Greek dances is a very old tradition, being referred to by authors such as Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch and Lucian. From the Bronze Age aka Minoan civilization, the most famous type of dances were the circular ones (same as today) and they were performed either by men or women. The only difference now to this is that it can be mixed by both men and women. Moving to Archaic and Classical period, the dance "Syrtos", for instance, was the most famous one and it was described by Lucian around AD 125-190... still danced today! Or when it comes to the Greek war dances, such as the Pyrrhichios dance, it was probably of Dorian origin and it was described by Plato as imitating by quick movements the ways in which blows and darts are to be avoided and also the modes in which an enemy is to be attacked. This dance was also described as a dance to be specifically from the city of Trapezus (modern day Trabzon, in Turkey) by Xenophon in his work "Anabasis" (370 BC). Pontic Greeks, mostly, still dance this dance. Last, I should mention Achilles since he danced the Pyrrhichios dance around the burning funeral of Patroclus during the Trojan War. :)
You must have spent so much energy in all this. I was looking for a summary of the main greek dance for a greek course presentation. That's a perfect material

nothing is black and white in history.
I dont disagree witt the last one, but mind that circle dances exist in the entire world, nothing Greek or Albanian in particular
Exactly. And circle dances have a super long history in Anatolia and the Middle East.
