Athan Karras - Dance of Greece
Athan Karras’ name is synonymous with Greek dance. He has appeared on Broadway, television, and in numerous motion pictures, but he always returns to his favorite passion, the Greek dance, where he has done extensive research. He has written articles on Greek dance and music, and he has successfully compiled several recordings to further widen the scope of Greek folk music and dance appreciation. In the early sixties he founded the Intersection Folk Dance Center in Los Angeles, which has become a landmark of folk cultures and a unique center for music and dance. His course will explore various styles of Greek fold dance, covering the many provinces and the islands of the Aegean. The music and dances will be investigated as an integral part of the Greek culture experience. The history of early forms of folk culture will lead the student to ancient traditions still thriving as a living art in many regions of Greece. The analysis of movement technique and the exuberant group dynamics would benefit not only the trained dancer, but everyone who is interested in having a joyous time.
