This lesson is brilliant! Me and my boyfriend want to learn this to surprise my Cretan dad for his 50th! Thank you so much! With a lot of practice we will do this! You have explained it simply so that even the hardest moves can be achievable!! If only we were closer to London!
You are the best! Keep doing tutorials for greek dances because you explain very very well!!! In this way you teach the greek people from the whole world to danse traditional greek dances! For example I'm from Romania! You have all my respect and admiration!
I've watched several Pentozali tutorials and yours has been the most helpful one.I'm learning it to impress a cretan guy.I live in Hellas(=Greece),a native.It's a Small World.Thank you!
Thank you so much! My son and I are going to Crete for the first time and your excellent tutorial will help us enjoy dancing even if we misstep at first.
είμαι από την Κρήτη... πίστεψτε με το παλικάρι άμα είχε και αυτό το πάθος που έχουμε... θα ήτανε μια χαρά... υπάρχουν πολλές εκδοχές για να χορέψεις πεντοζαλι... μια χαρά μπράβο!!!
Hi Erunis and thanks for the comment. This dance is for everyone and I normally teach this in the class as a mixed dance so don't feel like you shouldn't dance it. Pentozali is a lot of fun!
Hi Panagiotis, thank you for your message... unfortunately, that's all I'm going to do for this dance. If you can do the basic with ease then you should be able to copy others if they start to do other figoures. νασε καλα!
I really wonder if this tutorial is for non Greeks or do Greeks take classes for dancing as well ? I mean do people go to dance lessons to learn their own folk dances or do they learn it by nature ?
technically there is no variation to it, pentozali is a pidikto from Xania, just like the pidikto from hrakleio is maleviziotis and sitia is steiakos (pidiktos) and anwgeianos pidiktos is from mulopotamos

There’s only one right… and he doesn’t even come close to achieving it… even guys from Crete itself don’t know the actual pentozali and that’s so damn sad… not to mention that what he is doing is a cheap copy of the copy😂😂 if you get what I mean…
Αναφέρεται στο πέμπτο ζαλο της επανάστασης… το έγραψε ο Δασκαλογιάννης και χορεύτηκε από 12 οπλαρχηγούς… χορευτήκαν 12 φιγούρες… μια για κάθε οπλαρχηγό… αλλά αυτό που σας έδειξε ο τύπος δεν έχει σχέση με την παραδοσιακή εκδοχή του… αίσχος
would that look bad if a woman does it. i have seen pretty much all of your videos but now i realized that maybe that's only for men. would i still look faminine if i do all of that. specially this one seemed very strong. i dont know.
Don’t even try to do any figoures… pentozali was originally only for men… that’s why it has so many figoures… women didn’t have so many rights in that period so they weren’t supposed or allowed to dance it… there dance should be shy and beautiful… now women can dance pentozali but they DONT do figoures… it’s very very wrong… and it’s bad when you see it… imagine a woman with a traditional Cretan clothing doing all of the men staff… just don’t do them it’s wrong on every level
my father (harilaos Piperakis)taught me and my brother to dance pentazali. He stressed you point your toes .its not like kicking a ball .woman put their hands on their hips. A Cretan man his arm was stretched out. Again you did not kick you pointed your toes. But I am 80 yrs. old now. And from wham I see the dances have no class. My opinion.
@@ProfitisEliasyou know so little of our culture… truly… you must be a fool if you really think that what you did was right… I mean come on… you don’t even come close to the original… the dance doesn’t have variations… when Δασκαλογιάννης wrote the melody and it was first danced there was ONE way of dancing it… and the man who loves his culture always wants to keep the original alive… don’t dance it if you don’t know it…

Hi the children attend classes in the villages from young age every week.

Sorry but not exactly the way we dance Πεντοζάλι
Συγνώμη αλλά αυτός δεν είναι αυτός ακριβώς ο τρόπος που χορεύουμε Πεντοζάλι
happy names day elias
how come there are different versions of pentozali?
iv learnt 2 different versions..
There’s only one right… and he doesn’t even come close to achieving it… even guys from Crete itself don’t know the actual pentozali and that’s so damn sad… not to mention that what he is doing is a cheap copy of the copy😂😂 if you get what I mean…
Song pls...
Wright: πεντοζάλι Σκουλούδης… that’s a good version of it
what does "pentozali" mean?

sorry but you are doing it wrong..
Please don't put comments like this up. You may know a slightly different variation but the dance steps above are correct!
ProfitisElias the dance is 1. there are no variations of this dance. you should better watch other videos of how this is danced.
