Shoulder hold dance. For the more daring try a Syrto, it's the most common but has more steps.

I like Viktor Mastoridis, who has a couple CDs on www.cdbaby.com my mother in law turned me on to him, he has mostly (90%?) traditional stuff but throws in some jazzy number here & there to that I love too. I am hoping to corner my husband's aunties after the reunion this summer & get some more Greek line dance tips...

If they're Greek they'd prefer Greek music - if not, just wondering why they asked for a "Greek circle" (never heard of that but I'm assuming it's just the old debke thing) Thu, 28 May 2009 14:33:49 GMT http://BDInstruction.tribe.net/thread/35b10e4a-6a9a-4d99-a70f-52af2efadd5b#07dc3b5a-d350-43c9-be58-7297375489d3 Anthea 2009-05-28T14:33:49Z http://BDInstruction.tribe.net/thread/35b10e4a-6a9a-4d99-a70f-52af2efadd5b#8b3bf297-8f5c-4718-a49f-923c7238c2c8 Carol, thanks so much for your suggestions, this helps.

If you start the rocks on the right foot then the first grapevines go to the right (there is kind of a fake on 8 so you start the "folky" step on the left) and then repeat the entire pattern to the left. If they get that well enough you can then break it down into 4s and alternate 4s and 8s. Naturally, they hold hands or press palms about shoulder level or, if you are really daring, lock pinkies. Should be easy and fun.

I could use some help with this by way of music selection and suggestions on how to get the circle going and what to do once in the circle (Smile). I have some idea in mind and thought of maybe a saidi song to dance to etc. I greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have and thank you in advance (smile) Mon, 25 May 2009 19:35:31 GMT http://BDInstruction.tribe.net/thread/35b10e4a-6a9a-4d99-a70f-52af2efadd5b#d26b2e7f-e934-487a-9e92-b5f176f0e730 Sparkle 2009-05-25T19:35:31Z
