Показать описание
🕺 ‘’Leventikos‘’, also known as Litós (Λιτός), Kucano, Nešo or Pusteno, is a dance of western Macedonia, mainly performed by ethnic Macedonians and Greeks in the town of Florina, Greece and in the Resen and Bitola regions in neighbouring North Macedonia. Reflecting on the dance steps: slow-quick-quick-slow-quick, the meter comprises five beats of varying length but these lengths come in different variations: The Levendikos dance performed in Petroussa is very different from the one in Florina.

⚙️ The project ‘’ Bridging differences through traditional dances'' with acronym ‘’Horos’’ and project reference 622157-EPP-1-2020-1-EL-SPO-SSCP was co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission. ‘’Horos’’ project aims to help in the integration of the people with fewer opportunities in the society through the traditional dances and promote the equal opportunities of everyone to participate in this type of sport activity.

This is great I found this as I brings back memories. My late grandfather (Detho) taught me this dance when I was young, and I seemed to master it. After my Grandmother (Bubba) died he didn't dance it ever again and said it wasn't in his heart to feel the freedom of this dance. I missed doing this dance with him, side by side. A "Must Know" dance step of any Florinan decedents. Now I'm teaching it to my kids. A family tradition we'd be continuing.

So this version of the music is in 16 (9+7), but I find several versions in YouTube in 17 (10+7), with the same name... What's the difference ? They just weren't played at the same place ? Was the dance different ?

Lol this is Turkish. Any 'Greek' dances are actually all Turkish. If you want to know how Greeks actually danced you need to look at historic evidences pre ottoman era. This music and name levent is Turkish as well.
