On International Day of Dance, we celebrate something that’s always been a part of us. The stories, the tradition, the feeling you get the second the music starts. It’s more than just steps. It’s connection, it’s community, it’s the moments in between where everything just clicks and you look around and realize you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

HDF weekends are loud, chaotic, emotional, and somehow still feel like home every single time. From the first step to the last dance… nothing like it ✨

“Crafting Performances: Authenticity, Artistry, and Inclusion in Greek Dance” was inspired by director feedback from our post-HDF survey, and we can’t wait to explore these topics together.

Our dynamic panelists - Christos Papakostas (Ioannina, Greece), Apostolis Takis (Athens, Greece), and Sarantos Kaperonis - along with moderator , will guide us through both practical and philosophical perspectives using past performances as a lens for discussion and analysis.

This HDForum will be more interactive than ever, featuring live polls designed to spark thoughtful discussion and engage both our in-person and virtual audience.

Subscribe to the YouTube channel for livestream access and updates, and be sure to register for Anoixi Weekend so we can dance & learn together in Charlotte!💚
