"Zorba's Dance" is an instrumental by Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. The music is part of the soundtrack for the 1964 film Zorba the Greek, 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. The music was derived from rebetiko, a form of urban music performed by Greek musicians with Turkish makam modes. The music, and its song "Strose To Stroma Sou Gia Dio" ("Make Your Bed for Two"), was adapted from a syrtos traditional composition from Chania by the Cretan musician Giorgis Koutsourelis, which was chosen as it had "energetic rhythm" and some resemblance to the rebetiko. The soundtrack recording was performed on a bouzouki. mThe original soundtrack credited to Mikis Theodorakis was released as a single in 1965. It was among a number of different versions performed by different artists released around the world the same year due to the success of the film. Mikis Theodorakis's soundtrack version topped the charts in Austria and Belgium, and reached No. 5 on the Dutch Top 40 (which aggregated different versions) and No. 7 in West Germany.
