Discover how Greek dance is a recipe for wellness & joy. Part of the Yia Mas workshop series, you'll learn a bit about the dance and music of different regions of Greece before Kristina guides a mindfully warm-up and teaches you several Greek dances. Yes, you will get a workout! All-levels welcome, especially beginners :)  We’re excited to host this at Primary, a beautiful wellness-focused co-working space and community, for the first time. Maria Kovoros (teacher, founder of wellness group Raging Nice Lady, and Chiotissa extraordinaire) will be co-teaching!

When: March 5
7 - 8:30 PM
PRIMARY, 26 Broadway

Equal parts experiential and informative, we'll explore Greek dancing through many angles. From the ancient Greek choros to the ecstatic summer panigyri to formal presentations of Greek dance as folk dance, Greek dancing has a rich history. On this evening we'll merge the ancient and present day by paying homage to the traditions, instruments, and rich cultural history of Hellenic dance and music. We'll also discuss (and experience) how movement and community are scientifically proven keys to health. Yes, you will get some exercise!

After a presentation, we'll warm up our bodies with breath and mindful movement, then learn and enjoy some dancing! This is very much for ALL LEVELS. The night is more about getting into your body and the music than perfecting the steps. 

The Yia Mas event series explores health, community, and consciousness as connected to Hellenism.

Yia mas is short for "στην υγειά μας" / "stin yeia mas" means "to our health" or "cheers"
