AUSTRALIA'S BIGGEST GREEK DANCE SCHOOL,
THE MANASIS SCHOOL OF GREEK DANCE AND CULTURE,
PRESENTS THE GREEK SOCIAL EVENT OF THE YEAR
ANNUAL DINNER DANCE, 2023!!!
________________________________
Over the past four decades, and with the ever-growing experience of its students and two instructors, the MANASIS School of Greek Dance and Culture has set unmatched, unrivalled standards, in execution, choreography and discipline.
One of the school’s fundamental beliefs is to continuously strive to present a new movement, a new position, a new idea, differing from the customary formation, to show that dance too, just like art, evolves.
As the school endlessly searches and creates new methods of execution, its belief is that all culture should evolve with time, whilst still remaining firmly embedded in its traditional past.
“...we must understand where we come from, in order to know where we want to go...”
For many years, our school has staged Annual Dinner Dances, exhibiting dances, music and costumes from the various regions of Greece.
________________________________
The “Annual Dinner Dance, 2023" (Senior | Adult)
was the latest project, in a long line of cultural concerts, presented and hosted by the MANASIS School of Greek Dance and Culture.
The intentions behind staging this concert were nothing other than celebrating cultural diversity in Australia- the cradle of multiculturalism.
In order to best facilitate and cater for the ever-growing support and interest from families and guests, we yet again split the Annual Dinner Dance event, presenting it over two separate evenings- one for our Senior and Adult students, and the other for our Beginner, Junior, and Intermediate students.
Across both events, we will showcase hundreds of performers, from students as young as 3 years of age through to the famed Senior Dance Group, presenting dances from various regions of Greece, and all dressed in traditional costumes. New routines from our mainstream dance classes will be presented, from regions such as Pontos, Thrace, Macedonia, Epirus, Thessaly, Central Greece, Peloponnese, Crete, Cyprus, and the Greek Islands.
All night long, event DJ Chris T (Subliminal Entertainment) kept everyone on their toes, with the best mix of traditional and modern glendi-style Greek music! In conjunction with all this, the MANASIS Band, and other guest musicians, presented the “best-of-the-best” traditional style folk music with their unique LIVE INSTRUMENTAL FLOORSHOWS! Including klarina, daoulia and the famous goat-head “GAIDA” bagpipes!!!
With the generous donations of our supporters and sponsors, the raffle draw gave away $1,000’s worth of prizes! And as if that wasn’t enough, to top it all off- a massive Audio/Visual system complete with lasers, automated coloured lighting, smoke machines, and a huge LED projection system, ensured the perfect club style atmosphere for an evening of non-stop entertainment!!!
Over the past weekend, the highly anticipated first instalment was presented, in a jam-packed venue, with all the unique and exclusive MANASIS inclusions that the community has come to recognise.
Along with the spectacular dance performances, the highlight of last weekend’s was undoubtedly the much-anticipated announcement of our dance school's BIGGEST EVER PROJECT to date:
DESTINATION ΠΑΤΡΙΔΑ, 2024.
The second and final instalment is coming up on SATURDAY 14th OCTOBER, with extremely limited seating still available.
