      ​​@@Jackmerius_Tacktheritrix5733 they are of Greek heritage so Greek culture is a part of theirs if their are immersed in it from their Greek parents/relatives..which they seem to be.

    My daughter in law is part Greek and we were blessed enough to travel to Greece where her and my son got married in 2013 in the Peloponnese mountains at her cousins house.
    My son hired a Greek DJ and we invited the Greek side of the family that we never met before.
    Soooo much fun... smashing dishes and shooting off rifles and Greek dancing with some American dancing in between! The food was amazing! Best wedding I've ever been to! 🇺🇸🇬🇷 ❤️

    Zonaradiko (Greek: Ζωναράδικος) is a traditional Greek folk dance from Thrace (Greece) that is named after the dance's handhold. Dancers hold the adjacent dancer's zonaria (belt) during the dance. Zonaradiko is a village line dance done in one form or another all over Greece. In each village the dance will look somewhat different, but the basic structure is essentially the same. The same dance is done in Bulgaria under the name Pravo.The variations below are a collection of steps commonly done by folk dancers throughout the US and as seen done by various groups in Greece.
    Many variations of the dance exist. In northern Thrace, zonaradikos turns into a fast tsestos. In western Thrace, the dance is led by the males, and the females follow towards the end of the line. As the dance nears the end, the first dancer moves to the centre and the others twist around him, then they "untwist" and go back to their normal positions.
    Mixed lines of men and women, holding belts. The leader is on the right. When the tsestos portion starts, either the entire line does the tsestos steps, or those doing the tsestos steps form a new belt-hold line inside (towards the center) of the original line. Traditionally, some or all of the men would leave the line and the women would either stop and watch or continue the pravo around the men's line. The entire dance is done with the knees bent. This position is especially evident in the tsestos.

    You are one great parent for teaching your precious culture to the younger generation for it to thrive. This is a fading value that needs to be revived by today's families because it fosters a sense of togetherness and identity that strengthens character...
    It doesn't matter what culture you have...pass it on and keep it alive. The world thrives on diversity! 🌍💖
