International seminar GREEK DANCES, Musics & Traditions along Egnatia Road

Egnatia Road, or « odos Egnatia », was built during the 2nd century BC by the Romans, and was intended to link Western and Eastern parts of the Roman Empire. Starting from Rome, passing through Brindisi, it enters Albania (Dürres), crosses Northern Greece from Florina to Traianoupoli, enters Turkey via Ypsala and ends in Istanbul.
For almost 2000 years a non-stop flow of soldiers, Crusaders, priests, brigands, merchants, peasants, artists, caravans and a lot of various ethnic groups (Greeks , Jews, Romans, Vlachs, Pomakes, Turks, Egyptians, Roms, … ) met, crossed, traded, … : making Egnatia an immensely rich melting-pot of cultures, traditions, and expertise.

The new Egnatia road, which was finished in the latter part of 2008, follows exactly the same path as the original route from Traianoupoli to Kozani. From there, it heads down Northern Epirus and ends its way in Igoumenitsa. All kinds of influences especially in traditions, instruments, music and dance have proliferated. All along the new Egnatia many « worlds » are living and mixing together : Thrace with its different ethnic groups), Macedonia (each region being so typical : Serres, Aridea, Florina, Veria, Alexandreia, Grevena, …) and Northern Epirus (Metsovo, Ioannina) … without forgetting the refugees from Romilia, Asia Minor, Pondos …

This is what Yiannis would like us to enjoy : this richness, still alive today. A trip through time, through space and deep inside the Greek soul.

THE PROGRAM

- Dances of the SARAKATSANI and dances from DRAMA with Dimos GKIKAS
- Dances of the VLACHS and dances from PINDOS with Yannis TSAMITROS

PEDAGOGY : at least 5 hours/day

All seminar long, we will have the pleasure to welcome MUSICIANS (local and from other regions), to DANCE in village festivals (in August there are always a lot of “PANEGIRIA”), EXCURSIONS to enjoy the picturesque landscape and historical significance of Prespas ...

6th Annual Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

We are pleased to announce that the website for the 2010 Bulgarian Folk
Music & Dance Seminar in Plovdiv, Bulgaria is now available
(www.folkseminarplovdiv.net). The website contains detailed information
about the 2010 teachers, daily schedule and prices. (There is a small
bit of information about some teachers that will be added later.)

This Seminar, now in its 6th year, is especially designed for
non-Bulgarians (or Bulgarians interested in connecting with their
"roots" music and dance) who want a more in-depth opportunity to learn
traditional instruments, singing styles, and dance than is normally
possible for groups or individuals traveling to Bulgaria. This rich and
unique program couples the teaching expertise of instructors at the
Plovdiv Music Academy with the traditional music and dance wisdom of
tradition bearers from around the country. Many classes will be taught
by village "masters" from various ethnographic regions in Bulgaria; the
dance program, in particular, features different groups of dancers and
musicians throughout the week, teaching dances and songs from their own
villages. A Bulgarian language class will also be offered, as well as
optional evening social activities.

Seminar registrants attending the festival.

Registration can be completed online. This year payment for the Seminar
can only be made by bank transfer or on-site payment; details are on the

another great reason to join the EEFC!). Students from past years have

their comments on the website.)
