A dancing association, misspelling of Terpsichore? - In Greek mythology, Terpsichore (ΤεÏψιχόÏη) "delight in 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 the dancers' choirs with her music. Her name comes from the Greek words Ï„ÎÏπω ("delight") and χoÏός ("dance").
