Zeibekiko
The zeibekiko is an ancient Greek folk Thracian dance of the 'Zeibekos' (it has an etymological root of 'Zeus') and was danced in remote antiquity in honor of the Asia Minor deity Cybele (goddess of wild nature) as an expression of the union of the spirit with the body.
The zeibekikos is considered a strictly male dance which, because of its dance movements, is also called "eagle dance" consisting of basic steps of Byzantine main meter drowned in figures of a specific circular movement that can be performed even in a space that does not exceed a square meter. In a social dimension, it evolved into a rebetiko dance (1850-1950). Today, it is also danced by women who, in their own way, want to express their feelings by folding a feminine expression of movement.
It is a wonderful emotional dance with plenty of theatrics that acquired a philanthropic dimension where the dancer, ignoring his fans, listens only to the music that directs him.
Zeibekiko is also called the place of the eagle, with the uncertain sway from expresses the constant relationship of the pain of the difficult life with death, causing the eternal complaint of the soul that hovers over the grave.
