Registration Details:
Our 10 dedicated volunteer dance instructors, including 8 former program participants, generously give of their time and talents. We are also deeply grateful to the many parents and parishioners who help ensure our dancers are outfitted in traditional costumes.
A Spirit of Giving: In the spirit of community and faith, we do not charge any fees for the dance program. Instead, our teachers donate their time, talent, and treasure to this ministry. In return, we ask that all dancers and their families consider giving of their time as well, by being Stewards in good standing with the Church and by contributing their own volunteer efforts to the Festival. This shared commitment strengthens the bonds of faith, love, and service within our parish.
Practice Schedule: Practices begin the second week after Pascha.
Join us for an enriching experience where you’ll learn traditional Greek dances, build lasting friendships, and proudly share our culture with both our Church community and the wider Danbury area. For any questions please contact us at: [email protected].
We look forward to celebrating with you and creating lasting memories at the festival!
