Who dances it: Everyone

The fast form of the hasapiko, in 2/4, danced in short lines with a shoulder hold. The name points to Serbian and wider Balkan influences brought by travelling musicians. Dancers follow each other through the changes of step, which is why it is described as a 'dialogue' along the line.
