Hi! My name is Ioannis. I am a professional dancer of Greek traditional dances. My passion for Greek dances started 25 years ago when I was only 5 years old! I have been an active member of the International Dance Council (CID, UNESCO), the official organization for all forms of dance in all countries of the world. I successfully participated in numerous national and international festivals worldwide, with many awards, while I am a certified teacher by Greek Dances Theatre “Dora Stratou”.

During my courses, you can learn several dances from all the Greek regions. Together we can learn how to dance in an authentic way, getting to know in depth the Greek heritage. The lessons include the provision of cultural and folklore knowledge for each specific region as well as dance explanation style based on the socio-economical and geological characteristics. The dances options may include: Zempekiko, Ikariotikos, Syrtaki, Pentozali, Xasapiko, Zonaradiko, Tik, Serra, Tsamiko, Syrtos and Ballos.

The lessons are tailor-made based on every student’s focusing on every student’s skills and knowledge, always focusing on personal wishes. Together we can build a plan so you can focus on the style of dance you wish! Lessons can be individual but also in groups after discussion (e.g. family, couples, friends).

Have you ever been curious about contemporary dance?

Based on the practices that I have learned in training to become a contemporary dancer, I will lead you through movement principles that are accessible to everyone. You will be guided through improvisation which will allow you to explore your own toolkit of movement and what dance means to you. The aim of this class is to find pleasure in movement and to let go of the fear of dancing in a particular way.

These classes are open to all who are seeking to rediscover their dancing self!

Goals

❏ Gain confidence with dancing.
❏ Learn about contemporary dance.
❏ Transform your connection with your dancing self.

Feel free to send me a message with any inquiries and I'd be happy to answer you!

I hope to dance with you soon,
Alexandra

Tango dance is an endless treasure. Join the exciting Argentine Tango adventure guided by an instructor with three years of experience. I will provide focused training that improves your walking techniques, refines basic steps, explores the details of sacada and baridas, and deepens your understanding of the music.

Do you want to dance as energetically as the dancers of Beyonce, Rihanna or other top artists? Then you are in the right place. Commercial dance focuses on exactly that, and originally comes from show business! You guessed it, this dance style is all about beautiful, tight movements and the focus is on performance. So we will definitely work on appearance, because a depressed backup dancer doesn't make anyone happy.

Do you want to participate in high-level competitions, or make unique and fun videos for your social media? Maybe you like to step into the spotlight with your friends for a workshop and make lasting memories together? Everything is possible!

I started my journey of learning how to shuffle/cut shapes a little over a year and a half ago and it ignited a flame of passion in me like nothing had in a very long time. I'd say it's turned into a somewhat spiritual experience for me. Although there is of course still a lot for me to learn and improve on and I feel like my journey has just started, I feel confident that I can help others get started on their own journey. My fundamentals as well as my knowledge and understanding of the dance are pretty solid and I would never try to teach you something that is outside of my expertise. I think at the end of the day though, the most important thing with dance is to just have fun and to learn to find confidence and freedom in your expression through it, so most of all I hope I can help you find that.
