St. Demetrios is proud of our Greek
Folk Dance program. We have over 120 dancers and singers from 4 years old
to adult. We hope that this web site will encourage communication
between the various people, groups, and communities that share a passion
for the Greek culture.Greek Folk Dancing is integral to our Greek culture. Our program aims to teach the Greek folk traditions of dance, music, and song while maintaining the values of the Greek Orthodox faith.
Besides performing at many community events, the St. Demetrios Greek Dancers attend the annual Folk Dance Festival. Since the FDF is a dance competition, we try to put our best foot forward by researching and practicing new suites of dances from various parts of Greece in costumes from the same region.
Our annual dance symposium, Yasoo, is held every October. Here we host instructors, dance groups, and/or musicians from Greece to teach us new dances and songs from specific regions. Greek dance enthusiasts from all over the country come to Yasoo to take the workshops, enjoy the glendi, and share the experience.
