Zonaradikos is a very common line dance in the Thracian part of (Northeastern) Greece. (More or less the same dance is danced in the Thracian part of Bulgaria, where the dance would most often be called “Pravo trakijsko horo,” or simply a “Pravo.”) The dance has two different forms of the basic step, plus many variations on each, especially the second “in and out” basic step. The word “zonaradikos” derives from the Greek word for “belt.” This does not necessarily mean that it should be danced with a belt hold; the word refers rather to the “belt” of dancers following the leader.
