Hispanopedia WikiEl Ballos ( en griego : Μπάλος ) es una danza folclórica griega y una variante del sirtos . Existen también diferentes versiones en otros países balcánicos.
El Ballos es de origen griego, con elementos de la antigua Grecia. [ 1 ] El nombre proviene del italiano ballo [ 2 ] a través del latín "ballo" [ 3 ] [ 4 ] que deriva del verbo griego "βαλλίζω" ballizo , "bailar, saltar"). [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ]
La melodía de un ballos suele ser alegre y lírica, característica de la música de las islas del Egeo . Este baile de pareja incorpora todos los elementos del cortejo: atracción, coqueteo, exhibición de la virilidad masculina y la virtud femenina, persecución y rechazo, seguidos finalmente por la conquista y la rendición.
Its origin is in the island culture of Greece. Men could not approach women easily, so they created this dance in order to "flirt" with them. There are various forms of the ballos around the islands. The simplest is one in which a single couple goes through a series of spontaneous figures. In another version many couples dance simultaneously as if alone on the dance floor. Yet another version is introduced by a Sirtos. In its most complicated form, a number of couples go through various figures, somewhat reminiscent of the European minuet. Ballos songs are popular and there are many of them. One of the most popular Ballos song from Asia Minor is: Τι σε μέλλει εσένανε; Ti se mellei esenane ("What do you care?") etc. In Cyprus the ballos is a men's dance and is interwoven with an amane type song based on the byzantine scale. The songs are always sad and require a very talented singer.
