The eleventh of our annual 10 days seminar on Greek traditional dance will be held July 5- 15 2010 in Ammouliani. This year’s repertoire will consist of dances from Nea Vyssa (Evros -Thrace), Kosti (East Thraki), Gumenissa (Central Macedonia) and Argyroupoli (Central Pontos) – all taught by Kyriakos Moisidis; dances from the island of Lesvos (North-east Aegean), taught by Thymios Sarantides; and dances from the island of Leros (South-east Aegean), taught by Antonis Ntalaris and Roula Hatzikonstantinidou. Also, songs from the above mentioned areas will be taught by Katerina Douka while Yiannis Amarantides will present the corresponding regional dress. As a supplement, lessons on percussion instruments as well as traditional bead work will be offered by Tasoula Kosmidou to those interested, for an additional small fee. Daily lessons, both morning and afternoon, will last about 4 – 4 ½ hours and will be given in English. At the start of the seminar each participant will receive a packet which will include written information concerning dances and regions, song texts as well as music CDs and the official seminar T-shirt.
During the span of the 10 days numerous “glendia”, dance parties, live music with the participation of various traditional music bands, are planned. There will also be a boat cruise around Mt Athos, the “Holy Mountain” or another excursion.
Accommodations will be provided by the Sunrise Hotel, located within the village, peaceful, and with views of the sea and Mt Athos. The rooms are equipped with TV, air conditioning, refrigerator and private bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner are included.
Ammouliani is a small and the only one island, located between the second and third “fingers” of the Halkidiki peninsula. The island has only one village, which, however, has numerous tavernas, cafes, a super market, pharmacy, etc. The stupendous coastline includes numerous beaches which attract Greek vacationers. Accessibility to the island is from the nearby port of Tripiti.
