GREEK DANCING
Cornell HSA will be organizing a Greek dance group to learn the ethnic dances of Greece and possibly to perform at events. If you are interested in learning some of the ethnic dances or you just love Greek dancing, then this group is for you! Below, you can find the syllabus, including some of the dances that will be taught. We already had our first meeting, but feel free to join any time!
