Ancient Greek Dance 




Dance was very important to the ancient Greeks. They believed that dance improved both physical and emotional health. 

There were more than 200 ancient Greek dances; comic dances, warlike dances, dances for athletes and for religious worship, plus dances for weddings, funerals, and celebrations. 

Some dances were danced by men and others by women.  Rarely did men and women dance together.

Dance was accompanied by music played on lyres, flutes, and a wide variety of percussion instruments such as tambourines, cymbals and castanets.
