We currently offer six dance groups from five-years old to those in their thirties. Most of these groups compete at the annual Folk Dance Festival (FDF), sponsored by the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco. Throughout the year, dance groups perform at Greek Festivals and other venues such as our Preview Night Glendi and various Diakonia (service) events.
Our focus is aimed at providing a positive experience for all dancers. Our mission is:
To cultivate our children’s appreciation of their cultural heritage through dance,
To provide a youth ministry for the church, and
To foster lifetime friendships with fellow Orthodox Christians.
During the year, we also offer a non-competitive Spring Dance Camp and “Dance for Fun” workshops. We welcome new dancers!
