Loulovikos (Greek: Λουλοβίκος or Λουλουβίκος) is a male dance from Megara Attikis, Greece. It is danced to a song with the same name. The song's lyrics refer to Loulouvikos (which is believed to be the name of a boat) which took away the young men from the village. The song pleads with Loulouvikos to bring the young men back.

The dance is similar to a Sta Tria dance with the exception that during the chorus the men dancing begin to do squats and move around in the circle doing up to 20 squats at a time. The dance sometimes finishes off with the men breaking off from the circle and ending up pushing each other to see who will "fall" as the song refers to it. It is a playful dance done during the Apokries ("carnival") season.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
