Original Greek Festival

The Films “Never On Sunday” And “Zorba The Greek” Introduced Greek Dance To Moviegoers Around The World, But Most Visitors To The Original Greek Festival May Not Realize That Modern Greek Dancing Retains Much Of Its Identity From Ancient Times, As Has The Greek Language. Dance Is A Living Vital Force In The Greek Way Of Life, And Its Spirit Brings People Together With A True Feeling Of Camaraderie. It’s A Fundamental Aspect Of Greek Religious Festivities, National Holidays, And Family Celebrations Such As Weddings And Baptisms – Events That Center Around The Church Life Of Orthodox Parishioners.

The Dances Are Divided Into Three Main Groups, And Each Dance Reflects The Culture, Customs And Traditional Costumes Of Its Particular Region. A Dance Is Either From The Islands (Nessiotika); The Mainland (Demotika); Or Popular (Laika), Meaning It Is Danced Throughout Greece.

We Hope You Enjoy These Performances.
