Dance into Amorgian Culture: Stories, Steps, and Traditions

One of the best ways to gain a deeper understanding of a local culture and immerse yourself in it is by learning the dances of the region.

Syrtos, Arapina, and Kitsos are all Amorgian dances, but you can also delve into more 'nisiotika' (island Greek dances) like the Ikariotikos or even popular folk dances like "Kalamatianos" or "Syrto sta tria".

Our qualified instructors of traditional dances are all locals and have the same passion of sharing with you the stories and customs behind them. They will take you on a step-by-step dance class that can prepare you for the next "glenti" (a lively Greek celebration with music, dancing and feasting), participating in a big dance circle (dancers form an open circle) with confidence and joy. 

Learn the steps and get prepared for the Traditional Festivals taking place in Amorgos throughout the summer.
