Greek Music and Dance

Authentic dances from various islands and mainland Greece as well as from the region of Asia Minor and Pontos, will be performed by costumed members of the Holy Trinity Dance Troupe, of the New Rochelle Greek Orthodox Church. Founded in 2016 and coordinated by Eirini Metaxas, the dance enthusiasts gather weekly to share their Hellenic heritage through dance. The Troupe is led by Nick Gregory, who has been involved in Greek Folk Music and Dance for more than 35 years. He has studied under the directors of the renowned Dora Stratou Dance Troupe and the Lykion Ellinidon both located in Athens, Greece and under the direction of the late Paul Ginis of The Greek American Folklore Society in New York City. Nick has been an assistant director and director of dance groups in Atlanta and New York and has performed across the United States, in Canada, and in Greece. The dancers wil be joined by Leonidas Tsantiris, an internationally-acclaimed Greek musician specializing in the folk traditions of the Greek mainland, Crete and the Aegean islands and Asia Minor.
