| Original text | Ηταν αντικρυστός και χορευόταν από δύο γυναίκες πάντα, η μία απένταντι από την άλλη. Κρατούσαν ένα μαντήλι στο κάθε χέρι, με διάφορα χρώματα και σχέδια. Χόρευαν πότε απέναντι και πότε πλάτη με πλάτη. Το δεξί πόδι πάντα χτυπούσε τον ρυθμό πιο έντονα, σαν τονισμός. Ηταν χορός περήφανος και συγχρόνως είχε μια θηλυκότητα. |
| English translation | It was the Antikrystos dance and it was always danced by two women, one opposite the other. Each was holding a colourful kerchief adorned with various shapes, in each hand. They were dancing sometimes opposite each other, and sometimes – back to back. The right foot was always tapping the rhythm more intensively, like a pulse. It was a dance full of pride, and at the same time it had some femininity in it. |
