@Igotangry - thanks for that very nice and charming comment....no, we aren't proud, but enjoy the very beautiful Israeli Dances to Songs and Melodies from all countries around the mediterran Sea! Yes, you're right we are women in middle ages and so what? We are joyful and happy Dancers with power and emotions! Mirjam/Hage'ulah
Saltiel, sings some of the sephardi songs in the trditional way. In this CD one can find many dances, common among Greek and Jewish .The arrangements are made by Nikos Tzannis, and I think it is the most loyal to tradition version of spharadic music.
I m wondering, though, what dances the Romaniotes did have. I mean, of course,mainly the Romaniotes of Zante, who survived the Holocaust. I know that there was a Zakynthos Synagogue somewhere in Tel-Aviv, but I suppose, not any more.
Never the less being in Israel, one could try the original hasapiko, which is a dance of the rembetes. For rembetes (or the outcast or outlaws of the cities) would accept Jewish people in their ranks. On the other hand, Greek Cretans for example, were not allowed to enter the rembetiko high society (you now, jails etc)
There is a very interesting cd ,titled "Saltiel" (Σαλτιελ), in which the cantor of one of the synagogues of Thesaloniki, Mr Daviko Saltiel....
Well done, bravo to the girls. Choreography is very interesting, too. But allow me, please, to share with you some thoughts.The steps seem to me very good ,but somehow they do not fit smoothly with this particular song. The original dance of the song is "Hasapiko" which is more slow, "heavy" as we say in Greek, for it is mainly a men' s dance.That' s why I feel that, in the begining, the girls perform too many steps. On the other hand, who cares, music and dance is not a museum.
@Ellassification - this is a Hebrew Song to a Greek melody, and an Israeli Choreographer has created an Israeli Dance to it! Greek Music is very popular in Israel, because there live a lot of Jews with Roots from Greece.
it is the same as afghan (atan) now the traditional dance --> the lost sons of israil !!! The pathans (pashtons)

Is this song from Greece or is the Greek touch just added as an extra to the dance?
