Greece Culture: Thessaly Music and Dance
The main dances are again Syrtos/Kalamatianos, Sta Tria and Tsamikos, but in the eastern part, which borders the Aegean,
near the city of Volos, on the Pilio peninsula, and in Trikeri, dances resemble those of the islands. In Trikeri there are
many sponge fishermen whose dances and music resemble that of the sponge diving island of Kalymnos. Though the sponge
diving industry is only a shadow of its former self in present times, the music and dance remain a part of the local
culture in these areas.
In the main towns of Thessaly such as Kardhitsa, Sofadhes, Palamas and Farsala, are found the
Karagouna dances which are traditionally more simple than the choreographed versions usually seen. There is a women's
dance in the Karagouna village called Dalijana, done in tsamikos rhythm, danced to the song with the same name Another
Thessalian dance is the Svarniara, also the name of a song, which is used for various dances. The Beratis is yet another,
done in 2/4 or in 7/8, and is a slow dance done free style. In some parts of Thessaly the music quickens and the dance
moves into another dance known as Syngathistos, another free style dance, accompanied by various songs. In the Thessalian
region of Argithea (in the Agrafa mountains), there are some dances that combine rhythms, such as one beginning with the
tsamikos rhythm and changing to a 2/4, with the handhold changing with the change to the second rhythm.
A dance called
the Tai Tai is found in Aidonohori, performed during the Easter season, danced by men and women to a song sung by the
dancers, and in which the crossed handhold allows the men, at a certain point in the music, to raise their arms over the
heads of the women and thus create two lines divided by gender, but with the first man and first woman linked by
handkerchief, and also the last man and woman.
