Note: This is how the dance is done to the music that we use. The number of repetitions of each part may vary depending on the music. Also the steps may be leader called, especially at a Greek festival when dancing to live music. In this situation, if there is a long line, it may be impossible to hear the leader, so you will have to watch him or her to see what step is being done. |
