For those who enjoy dancing folk dances for pleasure, Greece is a haven. Greece is unique in that there are scores, if not hundreds, of dance tavernas, that is simple restaurants open at night where people go with their friends or family, primarily to dance the dances of their place of origin. There is nothing quite like this in other European countries, for though local dances are danced in some places these dances have become urbanised and formalized, such as the waltz. Nowhere else is it customary for people to enjoy themselves by dancing their village dances in city tavernas, for these have been relegated to the sphere of folkloric and are performed only by dance troupes or companies.

The fact that so many dance tavernas exist and flourish is yet further proof of the astonishing resilience of Greek dance in the wake of contemporary currents. It is even possible they might one day oust those centres playing European music, for in many provincial towns disco music is followed by local music towards the end of the evening when the customers are in a good mood. Perhaps we shall see something similar to the revival of rebétiko, which some twenty years ago was only heard in a handful of obscure tavernas, while today it is synonymous with Greek music the world over.

Tavernas playing demotic (folk) music cater for a specific clientele. They are not advertised or listed in the Yellow Pages, nor do they seek publicity, so most people are not even aware of their existence. Their regular customers tend to be co-villagers of the taverna-owner, who is often also a musician, and they spread the word among their friends. Only rarely does one see customers from other regions or towns, simply because this kind of music means little or nothing to them and they do not know how to dance to it. Thank goodness this is the case, for this ensures their uniqueness. Recently, some owners have, alas, begun including songs from other regions in the programme, in order to attract new customers.
