🕺 ‘’Hasaposerviko‘’ is a modification of the hasapiko folk dance which cmes from Constantinople. When bouzouki music began spreading around Greece in the 1920’s and 1930’s, Hasapiko started blending with various regional styles. In the north of Greece people played it faster, partly due to Slavic “Serbian” influence, while dancing what was already familiar, the plain Hasapiko. They started calling it the fast or Serviko (Serbian) Hasapiko or Hasaposerviko.
