The Most Interesting Man in the World is Still Dancing in Greece

...but this time he has competition....

Don't you love the acrobatics of the men? In antiquity, dance was deeply woven into the fabric of social and spiritual life. Some Greek dances find their roots in warfare, with the leaping and slapping motions mimicing strength in battle, but dance is still now, as it was then, an important vehicle in which humans can express and share deep emotions. While at one time dances like the Tsamiko were exclusively performed by men, women (such as the one you can see halfway through this video) now join in to the delight of onlookers.
