In our global oriental dance community, we can find Bellydance at many Greek restaurants, community events, and parties. But we often define and associate Oriental Dance with the Middle East and Arabic cultures. So where is the link? Let’s fill in that gap and enjoy Greek style bellydance!

We will delve into the nuances in style and song, and learn how to dance with that special Greek flavor!
