Encyclopedia : T : TS : TSA : Tsamiko
The Tsamiko is a traditional Greek dance. It is one of two national dances of Greece, the other being the Kalamatiano.
The Tsamiko takes its name from the Cham Albanians (Greek Tsamides). Over time it has taken on many variations and is danced throughout Greece. It is danced in a circle to 3/4 rhythm. In the past, it was danced exclusively by men, but in modern times both men and women take part. It is also popular among Greeks and international folk dancers in the United States.
