The boys dance around this bottle of scotch as if they worship it. Then everyone takes turns at getting down on to their knees (while still dancing) and try to drink a shot of scotch (straight of course) without using their hands.
Whenever the song ‘soma mou’ by Sfakianakis Notis is played at Greek Weddings, all the boys (and sometimes the girls too) get up to do The Scotch Dance.
What are some other good songs to play for ‘The Scotch Dance’?

This dance is called the Zembekiko
it is also known as the “drunken dance” by tourists, because of the movement of the dance.
but it is merely a dance for men, but of course there are zembekiko songs that have been made especially for woman such as ” ah koritsi mou”
it is actualy a very hard dance, where one must be able to feel the music on their own, through their soul, and must be drowned in confidence…because there are no steps to it, and if you do it wrong you look, im sorry to say stupid.
this dance came from the early 1800s i believe, where Greek seed farmers would dance. Hence the traditional movement of the hands which resemble seed picking so to speak.
other then that its a traditional dance, made by greeks and achieved by greeks.
PS. to bob that commented before me. wow im glad ur not greek. u would humiliate our name.
