The Sirtaki shares with the &#8220;Syrtos&#8221; the line dance which is oriented to the right, with the only difference that for the &#8220;Syrtos&#8221;, the leader is at the right end.<\/p>\n<p>Sirtaki also incorporates choreographic movements of the pidikht\u00f3s, which characterizes the set of Greek dances using fast jumping or bouncing steps. Thus, the Sirtaki is a dance which integrates at the beginning very slow steps which become then much more rhythmic and faster, under the lightning accelerations of the musicians in costume too.<\/p>\n<p>The dance follows a rhythm of 4\/4 at first, which then changes to 2\/4.<\/p>\n<p>Each musical style has its own rhythm: jazz, tango, waltz, hip hop, electro, rock, ballet, punk, blues&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sirtaki_how_is_it_danced\"><\/span>Sirtaki, how is it danced?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned above, the choreographies related to Sirtaki are mainly danced in line formation. However, there is a variant of forming a circle. In both cases, dancers must place their hands on the shoulders of the dancer next to them. It is important to note that the dancers do not face each other or have their backs to each other. They all look forward.<\/p>\n<p>The dance usually starts with the right foot moving to the left through the front. The step is then uncrossed and immediately followed by the crossing of the left foot from behind. These successive movements are done very slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Then, you have to perform three static steps successively in a right-left-right movement, then resume with the alternating steps. However, this time, you must start with the left foot, crossing forward, followed by the right foot crossing backward.<\/p>\n<p>His steps are thus repeated in a general movement of the dancers in a line to the right, then in a movement to the left, in a successive way. The rhythm accelerates as we go along.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_Sirtaki_online\"><\/span>Learn Sirtaki online!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no better way to learn Sirtaki online than to show you a video.
