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).Zeimpekiko dance is a 100% Greek ancient dance,(by Greek god ; Ancient Greece Ελληνικη: Ζεύς; Modern Greek: Δίας, Dias) is the "Father of Gods and men" who ruled the Olympians of Mount Olympus as a father ruled the family.The word is Greek and comes from Zeus God,purely ellinofrygiki "Frugia" = "Zeus" by Zeus "Nozzles " the bread "αρτος". The rhythm and dance Zeimpekikos keeps the roots from the Ancient Greece. The dance may originate from the Zeybek 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. Zeimpeks was a Greek from Thrace who emigrated to to Phrygia in Asia Minor. It was the Greek rebels in Asia Minor, the so-called "Rembetes" or "Rebetiko,which is Greek and means the Greek strong guy mangas (ο "μαγκας"). 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.Zeus, Bacchus-total dance of the Greeks Zeus and Bacchus http://ermisaggelioforos.blogspot.com/2011/02/blog-post_11.html
