| In Greek mythology, Terpsichore ("delight of dancing") was one of the
nine Muses, ruling over dance and the dramatic chorus. She lends her name
to the word "terpsichorean" which means "of or relating to dance". She
is usually depicted sitting down, holding a lyre, accompanying with her
music to the dancers' choirs. She is sometimes said to be the mother of
the Sirens by Achelous. Her name comes from the Greek words τερπ?ω
("delight") and χoρ?? ("dance"). Her name is also used as one of the
weapons in Soul Calibur 3. The dancer class's third weapon is called the
terpsichore.
Terpsichore is a lyric in the song [Come Dance With Me] by Frank Sinatra
Terpsichore was portrayed by Rita Hayworth in the 1947 film Down to
Earth and Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu (1980)
"Terpsichore" is also the title of a large collection of dance tunes
by Michael Praetorius.
"Terpsichoria" is a small dance studio in Clackamas, Oregon for young
dancers.
