Greek dances

Six people were injured after fighting over who should lead the "halay" folk dance during a wedding ceremony in the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa on March 5.

The fight occurred in the Haliliye district's Kısas neighborhood's square. 

The popular syrtaki (from the word syrtos, meaning dragged), initially choreographed by Giorgos Provias for the 1964 film Zorba the Greek is not a traditional Greek folk dance but a mixture of slow and fast versions of the Greek hasapiko dance. Accompanied by Mikis Theodorakis’ music, the dance has come to embody all that is Greek.
Here’s the original:

Sirtaki, a popular dance of supposed Greek origin choreographed by Giorgos Provias for the 1964 film "Zorba the Greek," is actually a Turkish dance, a top Greek dance expert told Anadolu Agency on April 9.

A group of people, including female and male members of Antalya People’s House (Halkevi), swam together on Aug. 24 to protest the city’s new women’s only beach.

The group gathered at a picnic area next to the Sarısu beach which has been opened with a ceremony by Antalya Municipality after being converted into a free-of-charge, women’s only beach.
