Dances of Greece.

Dances of Greece.

£9.99


Format: Laminated boards, 8" x 5", 40 pages.

 In Greece, folk dancing can boast a longer and less interrupted descent than in any other country. If we look at the ancient vase-paintings and bas-reliefs, we find that the poise, the steps and motions are very similar to those in use today. The long years of Turkish rule could not quench the flames of Greek national pride, and this flame still burns bright.

The Klephs, the guerilla warriors of the mountains, who were a thorn in the flesh of the Turkish overlords, had their own dances, and Greek dancing is still of a predominantly warlike character.
For those who would essay these dances themselves, detailed step notations are provided, together with music; and four charming colour plates show the correct costumes to go with the dances.
