Kamilierikos (Greek: καμηλιέρικος χορός) or kamilieriko, is a kind of a Greek traditional dance, similar to fast zeibekiko and antikristos.[1] Like zeibekiko, Kamilierikos is again in "9/8" signature [2] and was danced by imprisoned rebetes. Riders of the camels (καμηλιέρηδες) used to dance it as well. Today, kamilierikos is very widespread in rebetiko and laiko music traditions.
