FOLK DANCE GROUP OF THESSALONIKI IPIRUS:

Our nonprofit dance club was established in 1983 mostly by students' initiative. Its purpose is learning, maintenance and spreading of traditional Greek dances from Epirus and other parts of Greece and of course the famous Greek syrtaki. In addition, our members enhance their cultural knowledge and enrich their education and national consciousness. This is achieved by organizing lectures, excursions and the dance club itself. In addition, the club makes arrangements and co operations with other similar clubs. Nowadays, about eighty dancers of any age attend dance classes.
