October Festival STAGE PRACTICE - Schedule Forthcoming

 Please note other than teaching the dance steps and dance names, we incorporate history, culture, language, teamwork, and philotimo into each practice. We need parent support in providing bottled water - if you can kindly leave a pack of water outside your child’s dance room, it will greatly help us in carrying up all the waters we need. Also, we will issue dance costumes to each child and kindly ask that they are properly returned in a timely manner.

The Dance Ministry oversees chorography, music selection, logistics in practices and performance, costume selection, and issuing, coordination with event programmers, beverage/food supply for dancers, and most importantly ensuring an atmosphere that reflects our faith and heritage in a loving environment.
