Tsakonikos Dance as a single ensemble, melody, rhythm and dance is perhaps the only ancient example of Greek music that has reached nowadays. And it happened because it is sacred dance. We know that cult habits are the only ones with the passage of time. In Greece, they survive despite the attack which received from the new faith several cult habits. These new faiths could not disappear or incorporate them into one's own cult or implicitly tolerate them ... Extracts from the monograph that Philippos Bekiros and Eleni Tsangouri in 1996.

The dance of the tasks is closed and danced with the right hand of the second under the left of the first with his fingers crossed and tight. Great freedom of movement is not allowed in the third dimension. The origin of the dance has given rise to many interpretations with the most widespread views that it is a dance of geranos or pithio. The first sight (Doras Stratos and her school) argues that the dance which represents Theseus attempt to get out of the labyrinth, danced in Delos and from there has been transferred to Minor Asia and to many cities of Greece, but only preserved in Kynouria reported. The second view argues that Tsakonikos Dance , while he has the start of Geranos, along his route, it spurred on by him and represents Apollo's victorious fight with the serpent, Python in Delphi. That is, it prevents the geronos from designing the labyrinthine dance, but choreographically shows the snake movement. The sacred dance of Minoan Crete was transferred to the eastern coasts of the Peloponnese and was maintained by the Achaeans of Laconia who resorted to the unachytic Parnonas to avoid slavery and the roughness of the Dorians. With the prevalence of twelve gods, the locals dedicated the sacred dance to Apollo, who according to archaeological data was the main god who was worshiped in ancient Kynouria as early as the archaic years.

Tyritas was probably an ancient local deity who helped produce milk and cheese, but over time he identified with Apollo, retaining the old name as an adjective. Its sanctuary enjoyed the greatest prosperity of any sanctuary in the region during the Archaic era, possibly due to its central location in Kynouria.The sanctuary of Apollo Maleata was located in the NW. end of Kosmas, where the prophet Elijah is today. Among the many finds, a bronze statue of a warrior with the inscription CHARILOS ANETHEKE TOI MALEATAI stands out

Thrasyvoulou Georgiadis DER GRIECHISCHE RYTHMUS 1947 DANSE TSAKONIKOS

The following points of view that you will read are mainly from the wonderful work of Thrasyvoulos Georgiadis "The Greek Rhythm" First of all the wise men Our teacher reminds us of the difference between rhythmic education and today western and ancient Greek music. In Western music with extensions we divide the time in meters and in each meter we have constraints alternated with weak syllables. The rule is to emphasize the first step of each meter. (There are exceptions, for example: Ragtime where the second is stressed.) On the contrary, in ancient Greece we have the quantitative rhythm, the so-called prosody. ...
