"Our tour started with Yota (our guide) who was so very helpful and knowledgeable about local history. After our walk we met our dance instructor who was inclusive, patient, and energetic. The dances we learned were so much fun. We felt like a part of the Greek community. I’d highly recommend using Greek TravelTellers." |
2. What you can expect
In a country where folk dances are as alive today as they were in ancient times, Greece counts thousands of traditional dances, with every local community boasting its own. However, the first thing that comes to mind when someone talks about Greek dancing, is the famous Sirtaki from the beloved movie Zorba the Greek. The eminent Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis created this dance for the movie, taking inspiration from other famous traditional dances like Hasapiko and Hasaposerviko! What do they all have in common? They are fast, they are fun and they will definitely make you dance your heart out!
You will meet your local guide and get your feet warmed up as you walk through Dionysiou Areopagitou pedestrian street, under the shadow of the Parthenon and on one of the best walking routes in Athens. After a short walk, you will reach the dance theater and an ideal setting where your teacher will be waiting to welcome you and start the Greek dance lesson.
Get shoulder to shoulder, follow the guidance of your licensed dancing teacher and let the rest become history. After this 1.5-hour dancing experience, you will be ready to rock it in any Greek tavern and bring the fun back to your home and your friends. Shall we dance like a Greek? |
