m Secondary reference to a single 'foreign traveler' as opposed to an alleged plurality of travelers mentioned by an editor. Hasapiko is a Greek dance, whether a single clueless traveler whose writings are not available to us called it something else is totally irrelevant. Whether it has been observed that a group of people danced it before is also irrelevant if it's not in the context of its origins or evolution. Tags: Manual revert Reverted |

In the late Ottoman period, foreign travellers called the Hasapiko ''Alvanikos horos'' (Albanian dance) and it was described as performed by 200-300 butchers, in reference to the ''Arnaoutiko'', a dance of the [[Arvanite]] butchers of [[Constantinople]].<ref name="Moraitis32">{{cite book|last=Moraitis|first=Thanasis|chapter=Η αρβανίτικη γλώσσα στα παραδοσιακά τραγούδια|trans-chapter=The Arvanitika language in traditional songs|editor1-last=|editor1-first=|editor2-last=|editor2-first=|title=Ετερότητες και Μουσική στα Βαλκάνια|trans-title=Otherness and Music in the Balkans|year=2008|publisher=Εκδόσεις ΤΕΙ Ηπείρου – ΚΕΜΟ|isbn=9789608932326|url=https://music.uoi.gr/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/04_eterotites-amp-mousiki-sta-valkania-tetradio-2008.pdf|page=32}} "Ο καλούμενος από τους ξένους περιηγητές (Guys, Chenier) του περασμένου αιώνα «Αλβανικός χορός» (Χασάπικος ή και Μακεδόνικος) χορευόταν στην Ελλάδα και είχε στρατιωτικό χαρακτήρα.

The hasapiko (Greek: χασάπικο, pronounced [xaˈsapiko], meaning “the butcher's [dance]”) is a Greek folk dance from Constantinople. The dance originated in the Middle Ages as a battle mime with swords performed by the Greek butchers' guild, which adopted it from the military of the Byzantine era.[1] In Constantinople during the Byzantine times, it was called in Greek μακελλάρικος χορός (makellárikos horós, "butcher's dance", from μακελλάρioς “butcher”). Some Greeks, however, reserve the latter term only for the fast version of the dance.
The slow version of the dance is called χασάπικο βαρύ / χασάπικος βαρύς (hasapiko vary or hasapikos varys, "heavy hasapiko") and generally employs a 4
4 meter.[2] The fast version of the dance uses a 2
4 meter. It is variously called γρήγορο χασάπικο (grigoro hasapiko, "fast hasapiko") or χασαποσέρβικο (hasaposerviko),[2] the last two terms in reference to Serbian and other Balkan influences on this version of the dance. The fast version is also called μακελλάριος χορός (makellarios horos), [citation needed]
Sirtaki is a relatively new, choreographed version of hasapiko.[2]
