I live in Birmingham & have participated with the dance part of the festival many years ago. This is not really a karagouna so I don't know why they called it that. This is just a choreographed routine for the festival patrons. We will soon start a Hellenic Dance Program to teach authentic dances with authentic music & costumes so maybe next year we will see something more accurate.

I always thought karagouna was a dance that meant "sexy legs". Where am I going wrong here?

..Η ΚΑΡΑΓΚΟΥΝΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΚΗ...
Kara=Black
gun=day
so in turkish this means the blackday dance

@kalimerhaba1 thank you for your comment and "Merhaba' to you too:). Although "Kara" is black, it also means "Dark" as in having a "Bad day". Since this song is about a woman falling into a well "Bad day" is probably the right translation in this case.

Love the dance and Song - wrong commentary thou. And the dance in this video clip is all choreography! This is not the way the dance is danced by the Karagounides in Thessaly!

@MrGreekdancer Thank you for watching! Yes, it is a choreography and I am only the videographer here. You are welcome to come by and show us the original dance when and if you are ever over here in Birmingham, Alabama!
