  • Bravo!

  • where'd everyone go??

  • rex and tzavelena.......den gamieste leo egw.........me perifania xorevoume kai sosta....ama den goustareis na min ksanigeis.....

    oh and if u dont understand greek......u can once again eat it cuz u should be ashamed of urself!

    na zisei h KPHTH!!

  • For the record, pentozali is supposed to be synchronized. The dance comes from the dance Pirichios performed by the Kourites while protecting Zeus from his father Chronis. This dance was a very synchronized dance that followed a specific beat. So please eat it.

  • you people sound so uneducated.. this video was not posted for controversy. So please do not bash the performers. The first female dancer is wearing the female stoli (uniform) from anogia.

  • Tzavelena... the 1st girl is wearing a TRADITIONAL ANOGIANI stoli. Performance was choreographed because there were a total of 8 different CRETAN dance groups performing and to be different, they all had choreographed routines. Why are you ashamed? it's CRETAN DANCING.

  • Rex... it's called the Pentozali which is a war dance danced by the men in Crete back, during the war. THIS IS HOW IT IS DANCED. Not supposed to be anything 'Balkan' looking. If you think this looks like american/hillbillyish dancing, then I suggest you look and research more into CRETAN dancing.

  • that looks more like russian mixed with american

    hillbilly country line dancing ...

    nothing Mediterranean/Balkan whatsoever

  • what on earth are they doing ??? what is the first female dancer wearing??? WHAT'S WITH THE CHOREOGRAPHY? Traditional dance is not chorographed! what for? this is terrible and I am ashamed!

  • Nice job Eti. This was the one event Cynthia and I missed. - James
