SYRTOS - Greece

Line dance, W-Position. The leader and the second person in line generally hold a handkerchief between them. The meter is 2/4, counted as SQQ.

Count Step
SQQ Facing center, Step on R foot to R (S), Step on L foot behind R foot (Q), Step on R foot to R (Q).
SQQ Facing R, step forward on L foot (S), step forward on R foot (Q), step forward on L foot (Q).

SQQ Step back on L foot (S), step back on L foot (Q), Step forward on L foot (Q).
Note: On the last beat of measure 4, you may also cross the left slightly over the right. Also, during the dance, the leader of the line may be doing various improvised steps. You are not supposed to try and do them, just keep doing the basic step. However, some leaders will signal a turn by circling their hand in the air. If they do that, then they are expecting the whole line to turn
