Welcome Sirtaki : Plate Breaking - Greek Dance!

BROKEN PLATES, NOT HEARTS!!!

In sirtaki dances, tavern or tavern nights, Greek music is played and dozens of plates are stacked and crushed one by one. But why? It doesn't seem like much fun... Let's satisfy your curiosity by sharing a legend that illuminates the mystery of broken plates accompanied by Sirtaki.

The legend says: In ancient times, there was a fight at a Greek wedding. One of the elders of the family who saw the fight stood up and broke his glass. The fight stopped in an instant, and everyone at the wedding turned and stared at this old man. The man stopped and said, "Let the glasses be broken, not the hearts."

It can also be translated as "let's eat sweet, talk sweet". However, when this legend becomes a tradition, it cannot be passed over with a word, and plates and bowls are broken in almost every Sirtaki.
