This dance is from the Ionian Sea island of Corfu. The dance originated in the Italian city of Firuli.
Islands in the Ionian Sea often have strong Italian cultural influences. Although not strictly necessary in the traditional form, dancers in Corfu today tend to follow a specific choreography. The dance is particularly happy and is a well-loved dance on Corfu.
