The Grooms grandparents requested they begin open dancing in the reception with the " Greek Circle Dance ". The Groom actually wasn't completely sure how it is done. After telling them what i read here he said it sounds most like Ducky's description, so thanks again Ducky! :)

I'm guessing the Groom never went to Greek School!:trirolleyes:

Hank, I always like to be as informed as possible about things such as this when speaking with a Client. If you can't ask other Peers if they have experience with something then what is the point of having a Forum? I googled right after i made this post, read the responses , then i contacted my client ( who wasn't completely sure themselves ) so being able to explain what i read above helped A LOT. I appreciate the help to those who actually contributed that is :trirolleyes:

Are you afraid the client will find you to be ignorant? Please....:trirolleyes:

There's nothing wrong with networking and getting info on the forum, but when it comes to a specific request by a specific person, it's always best to get their definition of what that is. I don't care how much experience anyone here has had. It's your client that asked and you owe it to them not to second guess.

...and if the person you spoke to didn't know what they were asking, then they were obviously asking for someone else that does. It's up to the both of you to find out. Talk to the other half of the couple.

Hank, Asking the question here is just another way to obtain info in my search to go along with the other things i have found. I posted the question here within 20 minutes of getting an e-mail about it from my client, this was the first thing i did, NOT THE ONLY. What shocks me is how much it bothers you that i asked here. I respect SOME of the folks here that do what i do and knew they would have useable info, which Ducky did. And to be honest her response helped me guide the client to figure out what it is they are actually looking for, my google search did NOT.
 
Ken,

You really don't owe me an explanation. I just submitted my thoughts on the subject. (That's another characteristic of the forum.)
I'm sure you'll figure it out and everything will work out great.
 
if the groom doesn't know cause someone else requested it...ASK TO TALK TO THEM!
just don't assume that EITHER of them know exactly what to CALL it...
they may be thinking one thing, and calling it something else.
(did you ever get a request for "Teenage Wasteland" from The Who)

it's no different than getting a request for a song that was done by numerous artists.
or different songs that have the same title
if you don't ask for specifics, how to you know you're doing the right thing?

My Greek weddings use a different type of song for the circle dance, different rhythm too. I can't tell you the titles cause their were not included in the CD I received from the B&G. Email me if you'd like me to send them your way. [email protected]

Interesting. I dropped you a line, but I'm heading to bed now. I'd love to take a listen and post back on it tomorrow. :)
 
I have six versions of Zorba's Dance.... The techno version by DJ George Papadakos is cool for later in the evening, especially if you can beat-mix it in. The best one for you would probably be Zorba The Greek (the other name for the song) by the Greek Traditional Orchestra which is my fav. Zorba's Dance off the My Big Fat Greek Wedding Soundtrack is also pretty good. Get in touch with your 'kefi' for this event! ;)
 
I leave the way the Dance is done to the Clients and their guests

how they do it is their problem

EVERYONE has their own way of doing it so there you go...........
 
Went with the Plain , traditional Zorbas Dance they requested and it was incredible. This Greek family knew how to party. I played the dance and the floor was instantly packed and it stayed that way until the end of the night, couldn't get them to leave! Awesome night, maybe i'll get some pics or vids up if i have time to load em this week. Thanks again everyone!
