The "Grecque" (or the Greek) is a celebratory dance often undertaken en masse by football supporters within a stadium during a match. The dance involves the supporters, arm-in-arm, turning their backs to the field, as if to mock their opponents and gloat in the idea that they need not even watch their team as they know they will always win anyway, and hopping from side to side.
