Greek dancing is a very old tradition and many of the contemporary dances include the elements practiced centuries ago. At a certain point in history, the Ancient Greece was the cradle of the Western culture. Even today, some of the things introduced by the scientists and art performers of that time remain unchanged. Greek dancers for hire can help you create a very special atmosphere at your event. This original form of entertainment will impress your guests and bring people closer together as many traditional Greek dances are performed in large groups.
During the ancient times, Greek dances were social functions aimed to entertain the whole community. Traditional styles heavily rely on a very strict order of dancers’ arrangement by age, status, position, etc. This variety of folk dancing is very different from vibrant Indian and African shows that are brimming with colors and passion. However, Greek dancing is no less fun and would be a great way to get the party going during weddings and corporate events.
There used to be over 10,000 types of dances from different areas of the Ancient Greece. Very few of them ‘survived’ through the ages, but the majority of contemporary Greek communities practice some traditional dances during seasonal festivals and special celebrations.
