Tsakonikos

In Ayios Andreas, it is performed as a mixed dance in an open circle, with the hands held up (αγκαζέ angaze, in Greek).

[1] The dance is performed to a 54 (3+2) rhythm in an open circle which slowly winds in upon itself, forming a snail-shaped design.

This labyrinthine formation is, according to legend, linked to the Crane dance of Theseus in Greek mythology, who slew the Minotaur in the Labyrinth of King Minos.

Καὶ πάν’ στὸν πὲ - κι ἀμὰν ἀμάν, καὶ πάν’ στὸν πέρα Μαχαλά.

Μάστε κορίτσια τσάκαλα, στεγνῶστε τὰ πουκάμισα [2]
