Angelica (dance)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Angelica (Αγγελικη) was a celebrated dance among the ancient Greeks, performed at their feasts. It was thus called from the Greek άγγελος (nuntius, "messenger"), by reason, as Pollux assures us, the dancers were dressed in the habit of messengers.
