Traditional Greek Dance

Traditional Greek Dances are an integral part of St. Cyprian’s Community School education. We believe that teaching the children the vibrant rhythms and intricate footwork -that have been passed down during generations- is an integral part of their holistic education. The dancing steps, along with the characteristic traditional costumes, music and songs from various parts of Greece and Cyprus, give our children a feeling of belonging and being part of their heritage and tradition.

Mrs Nandia Tzaneti is our dedicated instructor for Greek dances. Nandia has been passing down the knowledge and enthusiasm for our cultural heritage and her dance lessons have become a cherished part of the curriculum.

Our students have the opportunity to learn different dances from various geographic locations, like the Sirtaki from mainland Greece, Tsamiko of the Ionian islands, Pentozali from Crete and Karsilamas from Cyprus.

The parents have the opportunity to watch our children dance Traditional Greek Dances during our school’s events and celebrations. During the ‘Summer Souvlaki’ event all family members and friends are welcome to join in the dancing!
