Sirtaki or syrtaki () is a dance of Greek origin, choreographed for the 1964 film Zorba the Greek. It is a recent Greek folkdance, and a mixture of "syrtos" and the slow and fast rhythms of the hasapiko dance. The dance and the accompanying music by Mikis Theodorakis are also called '''Zorba's dance, the Zorba or "the dance of Zorba'". The dance has become popular in Greece and is identified with the Greeks, becoming an invented tradition.
