Zeibekiko (ζεϊμπέκικο) is a Greek improvisational solo dance. Its name comes from Zeybeks people of Asia Minor.

The dancer is surrounded by other people, who go on their knees, and clap to the dancer. Throwing plates down at the dancers' feet remains a Greek custom, however, throwing flowers or whatever they find the crowd find's that won't injure anyone (e.g. plastic plates) is becoming more common. It is the one of the most renowned Greek dances, and traditionally, was only performed by men. It is commonly referred to as the dance of dances, requiring incredible creativity, athleticism, and balance. --144.136.109.162 11:47, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
