| Comment | Lucian, De saltatione 34, Plutarch, Theseus 21: "On his voyage from Crete, Theseus put in at Delos, and having sacrificed to the god and dedicated in his temple the image of Aphrodite which he had received from Ariadne, he danced with his youths a dance which they say is still performed by the Delians, being an imitation of the circling passages in the Labyrinth, and consisting of certain rhythmic involutions and evolutions. This kind of dance, as Dicaearchus tells us, is called by the Delians The Crane, and Theseus danced it round the altar called Keraton, which is constructed of horns ( ‘kerata’) taken entirely from the left side of the head" (Plutarch. Plutarch's Lives. with an English Translation by. Bernadotte Perrin. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. London. William Heinemann Ltd. 1914. 1. ) |

Although a pair of cranes may be together for many years, the courtship rituals of the species are enacted by every pair each spring. The dancing of cranes has complex, social meanings and may occur at almost any time of year. Dancing may include bobs, bows, pirouettes, and stops.
Folklore dances, in which participants imitate the movements of cranes, are widespread in Eurasia
