The ninth of our annual 10 days seminar on Greek traditional dance will be held July 1- 11 2008 in Ammouliani. This year’s repertoire will consist of dances from Petrota, Evros (Thrace), Neohorouda, Thessaloniki (Macedonia), and lesser known dances from Pontos – all taught by Kyraikos Moisidis; dances from Promahous, Almopia (Macedonia), taught by Petros Selkos; and dances from the island of Kalymnos, taught by Anna Mavrou. Also, songs from the above mentioned areas will be taught by Katerina Douka while Yiannis Amarantides will present the corresponding regional dress. As a supplement, lessons on percussion instruments as well as traditional bead work will be offered by Tasoula Kosmidou to those interested, for an additional small fee. Daily lessons, both morning and afternoon, will last about 4 – 4 ½ hours and will be given in English. At the start of the seminar each participant will receive a packet which will include written information concerning dances and regions, song texts as well as music CDs and the official seminar T-shirt.
During the span of the 10 days numerous “glendia”, dance parties, with live music and the participation of various performing troupes, are planned. There will also be a boat cruise around Mt Athos, the “Holy Mountain” or another excursion.
