IkariaDance Project 2013, AUGUST 23-31
At Easter 2004 we decided to organize a dance meeting in a remote island with a "low" touristic background: IKARIA.
We did that as we believe Ikaria is one of the few islands where dancing is still alive and unpretentious and it has nearly nothing to do with the folk artistic "orchestrated" traditional events that are getting more and more on the greek islands of today, as tourism increases and it needs folk "products" to consume.
We also did it because we love its people, their principles and their love for simple things in life...like dancing with friends.
So we danced kariotikos, syrtos, sousta, karsilamas, zeibekiko...with friends from all around the world!..
This year we shall find each other again!!!
Who? Christiana, Christos, Makis, Nikos and all our friends...Lefteris, Yannis, Alexandros, Maria, Dimitris, Christina....
What? Greek dances, music, feasts "glendia", "panigiria", language... in a wonderful island.
