Zeibekiko (or Zeybekiko, Template:Lang-el) is considered an urban improvisational dance from Greece with a rhythmic pattern of 9/4 or else 9/8 (broken down as 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8). The dance originated from the Zeybek warriors of Anatolia and was partly introduced in Greece after the 1923 population exchanges following the Treaty of Lausanne. It has been suggested that the well-known Greek rebetiko composer and singer Markos Vamvakaris from the island of Syros played an important role in shaping and popularizing this type of music and dance. Zeibekiko is common in Greece and areas around the world with large Greek populations. Throughout history it has been known as an intensely personal dance where people can express their individuality. Only one man at a time may dance it. If another got up, it would be a cause for conflict and possible violence. However, in the 21st century a certain dance etiquette has evolved, seeing men either wait until the dancing man stops and then begin dancing, or standing up so the dancer gives them his place.
In contemporary society, women may dance also the Zeibekiko. Traditionally, applause was not sought nor commonly given, out of respect. This did not, however, lessen creativity, with dancers performing feats such as standing on a glass of wine or a chair or fireplace, or picking up a table, adding a sense of little braggadocio and humor. Zeibekiko songs are popular and vast – some of the more traditional Zeibekiko songs are To Zeimpekiko Ths Eudokias.
