Opa! I am so incredibly excited to welcome you to Learn to Greek Dance with Eleni. Whether you’re getting ready for a wedding, want to connect with your heritage, traveling to Greece as a tourist or just want to feel that unmistakable Kefi, you’re in the right place. Greek dance is more than just steps; it’s about the hold, the history, and the shared rhythm of our ancestors. Greek dancing is more of a feeling than it is an action. In this community, we’re going to dive deep into: - The History: Where these dances come from. - The Beat: How to finally hear that 7/8 or 9/8 rhythm. - The Steps: From the 12-step Kalamatianos to the heroic leaps of the Tsamikos. - The Hold: The secret to a strong, unified line. - The Kefi: Finding that inner joy that makes the dance come alive. I’ve spent my life in this circle, and I can’t wait to pull out a handkerchief (μαντήλι) and lead the way for you. Let’s start dancing! Comment below and tell us: Which dance has always been your favorite (or the one you're most intimidated by)? #LearnToGreekDance #Kefi #GreekHeritage #Kalamatianos #Syrtos #GreekCulture
