O Tarzan או טרזן Ο Ταρζάν Israel/Greece These notes ©2016, Andrew Carnie. This dance seems to be part of the tradition of Israeli dances done to Greek music in the 1980s. I think it was choreographed by Raya Spivak in 1985. The music is a clear Hasapikos (and indeed many of the videos of dances done to this music on the web are in fact hasapikos dances, rather than this choreography), but the dance is an entirely modern Israeli choreography.
