Ikaria is an island of the East Aegean Sea near the islands Samos, Chios, Mykonos. An island of a unique nature, a fascinating history and living traditions to explore.

The traditional local feasts (“paniyiria”), involve in a remarkable way all generations and still remain the centre of the social and cultural life in Ikaria. Recent research on the high longevity rates of the island (Blue Zones) reveals to the rest of the world what all Ikarians have known for centuries: music, dance and life with strong family and community bonds help you enjoy real life and live longer… IKARIADANCE project aims to connect dance friends from all around the world with the Ikarian values of dance and feast culture.

To Alati tis Gis - Ikaria September 2016


 A nice moment of 2016. In September for the TV broadcast "Alati tis Gis" of ERT channel we improvised at the last moment with a small group of friends with Lefteris Poulis and Yannis Loukos, Popi Karnava's family in her Fitema's tavern alongside with Dr Lambros Liavas and his crew. We talked a lot, we ate Popi's nice mezedes and we danced listening to the violin and guitar. Our participation is from the minute 1.16 and after in the video below. Hereby uploaded a short extract of the video with Christiana's interview mentioning among others the friends- dancers of IkariaDance project.

Μια ωραία στιγμή από το 2016. Τον Σεπτέμβριο στο πλαίσιο της εκπομπής "Αλάτι της Γης" (ΕΡΤ) στήσαμε την τελευταία στιγμή μια μικρή παρέα με τον Λευτέρη, τον Γιάννη και την οικογένεια της Πόπης στο Φύτεμα μαζί με τον καθηγητή κ. Λάμπρο Λιάβα και το συνεργείο του. Είπαμε πολλά, φάγαμε τα ωραία μεζεδάκια της Πόπης και ακούσαμε το βιολάκι του Λευτέρη και την κιθάρα του Γιάννη και χορέψαμε και λίγο... Από το λεπτό 1.16 και μετά στην εκπομπή. http://webtv.ert.gr/katigories/psixagogia/13noe2016-to-alati-tis-gis/
Εδώ ένα μικρό απόσπασμα από τη συνέντευξη.
