Saki & Marias wedding 2018

It is the “lonely mourning” dance, a dance with no steps but with extremely intense emotions and feelings that the dancer should understand, respect and express in a restricted space. The hands are usually open symbolizing the wings of an eagle, the freedom from all pain and worries.
 
In the early years Zeibekiko expressed the unfulfilled expectations.
The despair in life.
The dream that never came true.
The pain that comes from within.
It was the dancing “expression of defeat”.
It is never danced as a show off, only as an expression of feelings. When all problems surface they can be tamed only with a Zeibekiko! The dancer has no fear to reveal his pain and his weakness at that very moment. The lyrics express in a way his personal experiences, therefore the dancer carefully chooses the song and then improvises the steps with dignity and respect.
A real man will dance the zeibekiko only once, he will not monopolize the floor in front of the band. The song he chose expresses his deep hurt and this is the one he will dance to, by himself and with his demons. Like a man who faces the abyss!!!!!
