  • hattushli - you are better off not trying pick out what is originally turkish or originally greek...the name of the dance might originate from the turkish word 'karsi', but i'm sure the people of the aegean were dancing these steps long before the turks left asia...maria, eisai yperoxh...

  • yes, Turks do the similar dance. karsilama in this dance is when the bride goes to her new house, the groom's relatives do this kinda dance to welcome her. although many regions have karsilama dance in their way, this way is from the south part. I would not say it belongs to Turks or Greeks since these people lived together for many centuries.

    Turks actually got this dance and term from Byzantines, Karsilamas is an exact translation of Antikrystos, the older word for the dance. It was from region of Thrace, which is amongst today Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria.

  • It doesn't really matter what Karsilamas means.

    I mean obviously it is a Turkish word meaning welcoming.We also have taken a lot of words from Greek language.

    It really is a waste of time who took what from who.Go spend your time on other things..

  • Everyone, THERE ARE SHARED MUSICAL TRADITIONS BETWEEN GREEKS AND TURKS THAT DATE BACK TO OTTOMAN TIMES. Now, who took it from whom, only the Arabs can tell :)
