"Zorba's Dance" (Greek: Ο Χορός Του Ζορμπά) is an instrumental by Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis.[1] The music is part of the soundtrack for the 1964 film Zorba the Greek,[2] and used in the film to accompany the dance known as sirtaki. It is now commonly played and danced to in Greek tavernas. The film's track has since been recorded as a standalone song by many different musicians from around the world.[3]
