The time of year is fast approaching for the Manasis School of Greek Dance and Culture’s Annual Dinner Dance.
The popular event is attended by hundreds, including students and members of the wider Greek Australian community.
To cater to increasing demand, for the first time last year the dance was run over two days, and will be the case again this year, but this time both will be held on Saturday evenings.
Both nights have a jam-packed programme, which will be identical on both nights, the only difference being the actual dance performances.
Hundreds of performers will take to the floor, from students as young as three years of age through to the famed Senior Dance Group, presenting dances from all regions of Greece in traditional costumes. The Seniors will also be presenting their signature routines: The Evolution Bracket and New Modern Bracket.
DJ Chris (Original Vibes) will be on the decks, playing a mix of traditional and modern Greek music. Also performing on the night will be the Manasis Band together with other guest musicians, presenting traditional-style folk music with a unique live instrumental floor show featuring klarina, daoulia and the famous goat-head gaida bagpipes.
Meanwhile for the first time in 13 years, the dance will be held at a different venue, now at the Nafpaktian Hall in Heatherton.
