Character

Who dances it: Everyone

A sung circle dance from mountain Naxos, known above all from the villages of Kinidaros and Komiaki. Dancers hold each other by the shoulders and start with a calm 'sta tria' (in three) step that later turns skipping and lively. It goes with the song 'Chorepsete, chorepsete, ta niata na charite' (Dance, dance, enjoy your youth).
