Zeibekiko or Zeybekiko (Template:Lang-el) is a Greek folk dance 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 word comes from zeybek (in Greek ζειμπεκ), which derives from the Hellenic word Zeus, (in Greek Ζεύς), the ancient Greek God Zeus Modern Greek: Δίας, Dias and the Phrygian word Bekos (in Greek μπεκος) for bread (see 'baker') The dance may originate from the Zeibek warriors of Anatolia. It is danced by one person only and is of free choreographic structure. In older times 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, so that other men wait to take turn after and if the dancer stops. 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.
