Ive been trying to learn some Greek dances at home so that I can join in when I go to Greece next hear (hopefully) I get confused between the differences between hasapiko and hasaposerviko, so if anyone has any insight not that it would be super helpful. And please let me know if this is a traditional version of the dance or if its a variaiton

Hasaposervikos is actually what we think of in the US as the "hasapiko" but the real hasapiko is different. Hasapiko, I believe, is the term used to describe the full dance start to finish of Syrtaki, and then the music changes to Hasaposerviko. Some people call this the Zorba Dance then the 1-2-3 kick but it is not just the Zorba song that has this beat/dance structure. But I could be wrong entirely! It is hard to find info online and there are thousands of dances in Greece, which makes it tougher.
