Romaika

  1. A Greek leaping dance.
    • 1827, Travels in the Ionian Isles, Albania, Thessaly, Macedonia, Etc.[1], page 168:
      There is an extreme difference in the character of the two dances; the latter, wild, uncouth, and abounding in strange gestures; the Romaika, graceful, though sometimes lively, and well fitted to display the beauty of attitude in the human form.
  2. Alternative form of Romaic (modern Greek language)
