Greek Folk Dancing, While at Sea on the Triton

Missing out on filming Greek Folk Dancing seemed likely. But on the last evening of my cruise, the Triton's crew put on their own folk dancing show; a segment from "I Follow Apollo", the Intrepid Berkeley Explorer's free video presenting the highlights of Greece, including Athens, Olympia, Meteora, Sparta, the Byzantine Empire, Greek Folk Dancing, the islands of Mykanos, Santorini, Crete, & Rhodes, plus Ephesus in Turkey, and much more.

To enjoy all of this film, plus over 30 more free, non-commercial, streaming travel videos from every continent, and still pictures, please ask a search engine for:

Oh, and please if anyone can tell me the name of the song at the end :)))))) Please and thank you

@MegaPuffykitty,

That last song in the clip, which has several names, is by Mikis Theodorakis, and became world famous in the 1964 film "Zorba the Greek". It's been called "Zorba's dance", "Zorbas", and also "Sirtaki". For many people, myself included, I prefer to title it as "Zorba the Greek".

Please note that in this clip I recorded all dance music that was played, adding nothing in the editing process.

My back ground is mixed with Serbian and Hungarian culture. I love Serbian, Hungarian and Greek and I LOOVEE Arabic culture WE all have the same dance format like the Dabek, I just wish that people can enjoy other peoples cultures and not get into ' who started what and who and say nasty things about others belief or race' . Life is short. Peace and love :)

the short fustanellataki is greek style, but of course this is all albanian culture... thraco-illyric-dacian culture, whose oral tradition was documented using the phoenician script that eventually transformed into the modern foundation of europe.

anyone who thinks albanians and greeks are somehow separate entities is really not a student of history but simply a monotheistic malaka.

Well, you do hava a positive attitude!

And as the preverb goes:

You attitude determines your latitude (i,e, how far you will climp in life.

[Clyde6660666]

really? you guys know how to write books and read them too?

well, guess what, so do we!

and I hate to disapoint you, but im not from a Greek origin, but I believe that's how it should be between us (Greeks and Turks), there is no need to be stuck in the history, History is history, and we should leave it behind us and just live in peace.

Yunanistan ve Türkiye Seviyorum!

Αγαπώ την Ελλάδα και την Τουρκία!

Well, we were in charge of Egypt for about 300 years or so, therfore, it is not supriscing.

We have inherited some very good genes and we have handsome man and very beautiful woman.

So what is the problem? Everyone has some African blood.

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

No way, This dance is more Macedonian than Albanian!

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

We know how to write books and read them as well.

Good to read that you are willing to die for Greece. First time I read this kind of statement.

Must be of Greek origin as there are ethnic Greeks in Turkey today, and yes we have many ethnic Turks also.
