Hasapiko (Hassapiko, Hasápikos, Chasápikos, Khasápikos, Hasapico) is a Greek traditional dance. The name comes from the word "butcher" (χασάπης, hasapis, of Turkish origin), i.e., it is "butcher's dance", Makellarikos horos, μακελάρηκός χορός in "pure Greek".


It served as a base for Sirtaki.

The Sirtaki dance was born from Khasapiko Argos, a dance performed at butcher guilds in ancient Constantinopolis during the Byzance era.
Khasapiko Argos was popular till the beginning of 1900, but from then on it fell from the favor and went into a long-lasting silence.
By the beginning of the 1950s, when the Greek composers like Theodorakis and Hatzidakis started to comment the traditional Greek music anew, the Khasapiko Argos has once again appeared on the scene, this time quite far away from Constantinopolis, among the Greek diaspora in France and with a new name; Sirtaki.
