Kariotikos in Jerusalem

A nice seminar we had in Jerusalem from 5-7 November in the wonderful Cultural Centre of the Hellenic Community. Together with Andonis Charalambopoulos who did the music workshop, we shared many nice dances with the greek dancing friends there! And I saw Chana, Sarah and Abraham again from our IkariaDance parea! Here are some photos..
The same days an article was published in a major local magazine about Ikaria and the longevity research, so many questions to answer about the ever-dancing island!! Photos were shown and we talked about the history and cultural anthropology of the island to make people feel and understand the local identity and the special "social" landscape!
Chana and Kostas, the local dance teachers and their students bring life to the Hellenic Centre of the Greek Old Quarter. Musicians and dancers from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa came for the event, as at the end of the workshops the musicians led by Andonis played for us and we danced altogether in a greek "glendi"!
