Name Origin

The name sirtaki comes from the Greek word syrtos – from σύρω (τον χορό), which means drag (the dance) or lead (the dance) – a common name for a group of traditional Greek dances of so-called "dragging" style, as opposed to pidikhtos (πηδηχτός), a hopping or leaping style. Despite its name, sirtaki incorporates both syrtos (in its slower part) and pidikhtós (in its faster part) elements.
