Classical Greek

Great for the imagination and evolved from the ancient Greeks who used dance as athletic training, as a visual art, and even to worship their Gods!

Classical Greek dance is relatively unknown in this country. It compliments other forms of dance. Take it from my personal experience - Benefits include amazing strong feet and a lovely sense of artistry.

The istd say "It is undoubtedly one of the best methods of teaching stage movement and dramatic expression in dance form"
