Meet Irene & Vas — specialists in Greek dance, culture, and serious footwork.

Irene brings mastery in Island dances, with a special focus on the Dodecanese, Women’s dances of Roumlouki Imathia, Macedonia, and women’s improvisation in leading Greek dances. She holds Level 2 Dance Certification from the Dora Stratou Dance Theatre, has trained extensively through workshops in Greece, and is a proud member of CID and the Hellenic Lyceum of Sydney – Euphoro of Dance. That’s correct Her teaching blends precision, musicality, and the lived tradition of women leading with confidence and style.
