A kind of dance. Aristophanes [says]: "[...] so that I may dance the dipodia, and may sing a fine [song] for the Asanians and at the same time for us also."[1] [He says "Asanians"] instead of Athenians.[2]

Notes:
[1] An approximation of Aristophanes, Lysistrata 1243-4 (web address 1), with scholion. 'Dance the dipodia' is a verb cognate with the present headword. See also Pollux 4.101; Hesychius delta1952.
[2] The speaker is a Spartan; "Asanians" represents Laconian dialect. See generally LSJ s.v. Asana (web address 2).
