Ellinakia ( 5th & 6th grade ) 7:30-8:30

 

We currently have three dance groups to accommodate the ages of our dancers.

The Ellinakia Group is our beginner's JOY age and is made up of two age groups. They will be taught the beginning foundations of traditional Greek dances and perform at various events throughout the year.  

Our GOYA age dance group The Olympians, learn a variety of more intricate dances as well as perform and participate in regional competitions.

 

All the groups practice and perform enthusiastically throughout the year at festivals, dinner dances, and various functions.

Not only do the students gain experience in the dancing, but they also grow and build friendships that are long-lasting.Greece is one of the few countries in the world where folk dance is as alive today as it was in ancient times. Dance has always played an important role in the life of a Greek. It is an expression of human feelings and everyday life. Dance was and is regarded as one of the highest forms of art.
