Traditional Dancing: a little bit historical, a little bit silly

I've had the opportunity to be able to compare and contrast traditional dancing from Greek and Italy. Each has its own style and grace, humor and spunk, originality and authenticity. Here are examples of each. The Greek dancing was at the closing party of the archaeological dig in Pylos. The Italian dancing took place at a festival called The Festival of Beating Wheat (yes, I'm not making this up) which celebrates the wheat harvest in the area of Bologna. I hope you enjoy!
