- Kaggeli
- This is traditionally danced by men and incorporates an improvisational
style
- Koftos
- This word literally means "cut off" and refers to the
stops in the music, when the dancers also pause
- Pos Stoumbizoun to Piperi
- This dance incorporates the slow 1-2-3 step during the chorus of
the song which asks "How is the pepper ground?" while the
steps done to the verses of the song reflect the answers: "It
is ground with...the knee, the elbow, etc." with the body-part
mentioned "stomping" in the middle of the circle.
