Maria
My name is Maria and I am a professional dance teacher with a lot of experience in all Greek dances. Looking back on time I was at the age of five (5) when I first started to dance at the festivals following the dance moves of the other dancers to the best of my dancing abilities as being only five years old. The kinds of dance I have been taught and their characteristics were purely authentic because I have been taught to dance by other dancers who had themselves been taught by other dancers etc. all coming from different areas of Kefalonia due to the fact that “dancers” tend to go to different dancing events and take part no matter where and when these events take place!
