Tsamiko
Today I would like to introduce a very important part of the Greek culture to you: The folk dances. But actually I want to tell you something about a very specific dance called “Tsamikos”.
Tsiknopempti
Eastern is approaching very fast and with Eastern, in the Catholic Church and especially in Greece, the time of fasting also starts. Beginning on Ash Monday, for 40 days no one will eat any meat in Greece. The beginning of the fasting time and the beginning of the carnival as well, is marked by Tsiknopempti, a celebration, where everywhere meat is cooked and people eat meat in all of Greece. Sounds great, isn`t it? And it is. But what is this mostly unknown celebration?
When in Greece do as Greeks do and dance
When in Greece do as Greeks do and dance. OPA!
There's a famous proverb: when in Rome,do as the Romans do. Here on Chios Island we could say when in Greece do as Greeks do and dance.
Last Saturday we had the pleasure to attend greek dancing classes in Nenita, and of course- if was great. There are classes for kids, teenagers and adults one after another and we've gone to all of them. The difference? Well steps would get more and more complex the older the students were and also the adult dancers would taste a little wine during the break. Fantastic, right? :)
