Loved your comment. I grew up in Melbourne, was living till recently in Birmingham, and finally returned to Greece.

Zorba is one of the best musical pieces I've ever heard. It increases thr feelinf of freedom, solitude , fascination aad coordination with nature. I LOVE it .

[@taisgdl]

Why can't we just dance like this instead of killing each other? this should be the anthem of earth, an anthem of happiness.

[@poppycowman4966]

I agree

[@cesarbruno3789]

I invite You to belong to facebook's groupe SIRTKI, DANCE OF EUROPE

[@lizzybeth22]

I was just thinking along those lines. If we could get the Palestinians & Jews, the Christians & Muslims, this group & that group to just get in a looong line and do this dance, maybe people would lighten up.

[@PRADEEPKUMAR-rw7rl]

You are right sir. Instead of killing each other, we should just dance according to the tune of music. Although I am a Indian, but I love this song. It motivates me & makes me more happy. I always try to learn the steps of this Zorba dance. Hats off to that GREEK composer who made this song

Although I'm Italian, there is a lot in common between Greece and Italy, Rome would have not been possible to be built without the overwhelming influence and help from the people of Greece. Right now I'm residing int the US, 33 years and I would love to see this kind of unannounced happiness, traditions, young, old, guys, girls all together, saying I am who I am, LOVE IT! How come we don't have this kind of moments here in the states? Dancing and enjoying the moment, regardless of who's there or what they say. As someone else mentioned, dancing for traditions on public instead of bullets flying all over, instead of worrying about the last Jordan's sneaker, last PlayStation, the biggest gold chain...................this need to be shown on TV and everywhere to young people, we are all descendants of them, form of government, language, religion just to name a few, my respect to whoever initiated this moment and all the followers, beautiful, it bring tears to my eyes, OPA!!

[@erlidanacario8890]

Lovely dance. The people around didnt mind who they danced with. It was a joyful moment.

Love this, love the Greeks, love their history and culture. Also, love the fact that the British people (apart from a tiny ignorant minority) openly embrace other cultures.

[@blackhaos123]

LazioJohnny 79 We don't want your shitty euro zone and your shitty money, with this crisis you become rich FROM MY COUNTRY FUCKING IDIOT. THOSE 5 FUCKING YEARS YOU MAKE PROFIT MORE THAN 20 BILLION EURO AND YOU BLAME ME AND MY COUNTRY CAUSE OUR FUCKING POLITICIANS BETRAYED MY COUNTRY TO GAIN MORE MONEY. Next time you say or write anything FOR HELLAS (cause GREECE is an insult for us because our name is HELLAS and not Greece.) think how many people died from nazi and your stupid leaders that destroy everything, because they had psychological problems. If your want your FUCKING MONEY BACK ask samaras benizelos. I don't give a fuck if my english sucks because im a PROUD MAN FROM HELLAS.

[@laziojohnny79]

Alexandra Konstantinidi Sorry, but i couldn't be bothered to read your whole story, i simply don't give a fuck :) Instead of spending so much time online commenting on youtube vids, you coud've used that time to actually WORK for a change & pay your debts.......or to grow some sence of humor so you can take a joke next time. And no blackhaos123 instead of what media & governments tell me, i rather be informed by Greeks who actually have the guts to admit where the true cause of this Greek tragedy lies. επιτυχία.

[@CCP833]

Watching this video totally transported me back to eating dinner at my Uncle Angelo's house with his cousins, who were all from Greece. The food took all day to make and was so delicious. After dinner, my uncle and his cousins would drink maybe a little too much ouzo and start shouting at each other in the kitchen. "OPA!"s would be heard booming throughout the whole house and the evening would inevitably end with everyone clasping hands to each others shoulders and dancing, much like they did in this video. Almost all of them have since passed away, and those wonderful dinners seem like a lifetime ago. What I wouldn't give to go back in time and see them all again.
