GAITANAKI DANCE ~ GREECE ~TIBET~ KOREA
The Greek Carnival has its roots in ancient Greece. It is connected with the worship of Dionysos, God of wine and fun. It was meant to worship Him, as well as to help the earth put forth shoots-hence the various leaping dances and the various kinds of disguise in order to banish harmful spirits and summon the fertility of Nature.
Gaitanaki is a traditional Carnival dance. One of the dancers holds a pole from which 12 ribbons start . The dancers hold the colorful ribbons and dance around the pole. The dance symbolizes the 12 Major Greek Gods.
