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. A few years ago they were throwing plates to break at the dancers' feet. Now they just throw flowers or whatever they find that won't injure anyone (e.g. plastic plates)! It is the one of the most renowned Greek dances.
