WORKSHOP ON GREEK DANCES AT CRETE 7/2007
A Workshop onGreek Traditional Dances, during 16-25/7/2007 will be organized in Crete, in the village Almyrida at Chania, and we propose you to join it and enjoy real traditional Cretan Life, Dancing Lessons and Holidays !!!
As all of you know, Chania (city and whole area) is one of the most beautiful areas of Crete, Almyrida village is in the middle of all the villages that keep tradition in their daily life and those that organize local festivities are only 2-7 kms away from our hotel, so you’ll have the chance to live with Cretans, stay in a very good hotel, on the beach & with pools, and dance with the best Choreographers of Greek dances, really experts on their field of expertise !
Location: Almyrida is a fishing village, just developed but remained unspoilt. It’s been characterized as an area of many beauties, has crystal clear waters-sometimes you think you swim in a pool, organized and safe beaches awarded with the blue flag every year, that are also home to water sports, as you can also dive and fish. The hills with the olive trees and the mountain range of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains), give to the area cool climate. Historically, the whole area used to be the colony of the ancient civilization Finikes. The Cretans hospitality and the traditional Cretan food & wine, will make your holidays really pleasant.
The Hotel: We’ll stay at Almyrida Beach Hotel & Studios, 4 stars hotel, that is exactly on the beach of the village (www.almyridabeach.com).The rooms provide A/C, SatTV, Fridge, Hairdryer, Bath, Radio, Direct Dial Telephone, sea/mountain view balconies. The hotel also provides bars, swimming pools and also (at local charge) Jacuzzi, Safe deposit box and Mini Bar. In the hotel restaurants are served real Cretan specialties. Taxi service can be arranged from the hotel to transfer you, from/to Chania’s airport and Chania’s/Rethymnon Ports, as also to go at the local festivities, any time/date-night (charge on your own)
Pedagogy: 3-6 hrs/day dancing lessons (in A/Ced room) from ANATOLIKI ROMILIA by PRATSIDIS Iannis PONTOS by ZOURNATZIDIS Nikos, CRETE & GREEK ISLANDS (Aegean/Ionion Sea) by MARKAKI Mary and MEGALAKAKIS Yiannis (Crete) and hopefully from CYPRUS by SAMOURIDIS Elias & Savas. A Briefing on the traditional dances, songs, music, costumes, customs etc. will be given by each choreographer. Also, we’ll give emphasis to male and female “solos” and the difficulty of style.
