This dancing is only for pleasure and is usually undertaken in 'civvy' dress. You are confusing traditional dancing with 'demonstration' dancing put on specially for tourists. Roumeli is not a tourist destination. The Northern Europeans you see in the video are Ex Pats residents of the village.

@giveahoot1 Dancing like this is part of everyday life in Greece, and therefore is undertaken in everyday clothes. Dance is well al ive in the people's hearts, this is what makes it traditional.

Thanks for uploading this video. Man I love you greeks. I'm south Italian, we have

very strong greek roots, so that in some areas greek is already spoken, like in my

homeland Salento. Also in Sicily and Calabria.

I feel greek blood in me. Thank you. Sas ef̱charistó̱
