Radovan dances the Pidiktos!

That's Radovan jumping out of the frame while these three lady dancers are busy watching my husband take the photo. They are not even near the Acropolis, but were dancing in front of a canvas backdrop! The dance is called the pidiktos, and of course, Radovan wanted to give it a try, and swapped costumes briefly with one of the male dancers.
These typical little Greek pom-pom shoes are called tsarouhia, but Radovan still prefers his Serbian opanci (OH-pahn-tsee), although we offered to buy him a pair of these colorful ones. He's afraid the pom-poms would get too dusty or that his goat back home would nibble on them.
