Greek Dancing for Kids

Our instructors are qualified to teach (BA, MTeach Sydney Uni) and have Working with Children Clearance (request a copy of certificate in class).

We teach from a syllabus and ensure that kids experience the best of the basics in Greek Dance.

Objectives

• To increase and promote our dancers’ awareness about traditional Greek culture.

• To upgrade the awareness of Greek folk culture within Sydney and NSW through our performances, lectures, presentations and exhibitions.

• To involve all members of the community, through associations and brotherhoods, to promote Greek traditional dance and culture.

• To maintain links to websites and information on Greek culture, history and dance.

• To maintain and add to our traditional Greek costumes collection.

Philosophy

• We believe in the preservation of dances, music and costumes in their traditional form.

• We believe that the teaching and stage presentation of dances must be based on ethnographic research of the areas or villages presented.
