2008-2009 REGISTRATION FORM
St.
Luke Greek Orthodox Church
Olympians & Ellinakia Dance Groups
It is the mission of the
directors and instructors to encourage and promote a cultural
experience! One that is rich in regional Folk Dances as well as
historical facts. The origin of most Greek Folk Dances have a
history behind them, a meaning, this is expressed through the
dance.
Greek dancing is
also fun and interactive for the children, learning the basic
techniques. All the
children practice and perform enthusiastically throughout the
year at festivals, dinner dances and various functions.
Not only do the
students gain experience in the dancing, but they also build and
retain friendships that are long lasting…the weekly interaction
enables these friendships to flourish, this all under the
umbrella of the St Luke’s Family/Parish.
Some of the
dance performances also include community service projects such
as dancing for a variety of retirement homes and providing
entertainment for the elderly. It is a wonderful opportunity for
our youth to give back to their community.
We currently
have two dance groups to accommodate all ages and skill levels.
They range from 2nd grade to 12th, a very
diverse group of beginners, moderate and seasoned dancers.
