Antikristos or Antikrystós (
Greek: αντικρυστός χορός) is a dance of
Greek origin.[1] “Aντικρυστός” in
Greek language refers to the verb αντικρύζω “be across, opposite, face-to-face” (from
Ancient Greek ἀντικρύ “vis-à-vis, face-to-face”). It is also known in
Armenia. Antikristos has similarities with the
karsilamas dance. It is danced in couples.[2]
