Sousta

Sousta is a type of traditional dance from the beautiful country of Greece. Imagine being at a big party with your family and friends, and everyone starts dancing to some music. Sousta is one of the dances that might be played, and it is a lot of fun!

When you dance sousta, you will hold hands with someone else and make a circle with everyone else who is dancing. Then, you will move your feet to the beat of the music. One step to the right, then a step to the left. You might also lift one foot up and then tap it down quickly.

As you dance in your circle, you may notice that some people will take turns breaking away from the circle to show off some special moves. This is called improvisation, where you can dance on your own and show off your skills.

Sousta is a dance that has been around for a really long time in Greece, and it is still really popular today. It's a great way to have fun with friends and family while enjoying some music and dancing!
