The Ballos Syrtos is one of the best known island dances in Greece. The melody of a ballos is generally joyous and lyrical which is typical of the music of the Aegean. This couples' dance incorporates all the elements of courtship: attraction, flirtation, display of masculine prowess and feminine virtue, pursuit,and rejection followed by eventual capture and surrender. Its origin comes from the island culture. Men could not approach women easily, so they created this dance in order to "flirt" with them.
