Greek dance classes in Manchester, NH
Since 2005, an annual series of weekly Greek dance classes for adults has been held at St. George Cathedral, 650 Hanover St., Manchester, NH. Classes are taught by Irene Savas, president of the Boston Lykeion Ellinidon, and Angela Vailas Bourassa, a member of the BLE Dance Troupe.
Private lessons
Preparing for a wedding or a special event? We can provide private, hour-long lessons for individuals, couples, and small groups on Saturday afternoons (dependent on instructors’ availability.)
For more information and to discuss scheduling, please contact BLE dance director Mike Savas. Please submit private lesson requests at least one week in advance. If you have specific song or dance requests, feel free to share an MP3 or YouTube link.
We had a private lesson from the Boston Lykeion Ellinidon in August for our wedding dance and we are extremely happy with the outcome. Our instructor, Dawn, was very patient with us and taught us several dances that we wanted to learn for our wedding. We highly recommend these private lessons to anyone interested in Greek dancing. It helped make our wedding even more special! – Julie & Jason, September 2018
