Part of the Hellenic Lyceum of Sydney’s Hellenic Heritage Series
The Hellenic Lyceum of Sydney proudly offers monthly and bi-monthly Greek dance workshops, celebrating the richness, diversity and traditions of Hellenic dance.
A highlight of our programme is Vimata, our annual Greek dance workshop, which will return in 2026, bringing dancers together to learn, share and deepen their connection to Greek cultural heritage.
We invite you to register your interest below for our regular dance workshops or our annual Vimata workshop.
Throughout 2026, we have also delivered two private dance workshops for the Canberra Hellenic Dance Group and the Kos Association of NSW, sharing our passion for Greek dance with the wider community.
Coming in November 2026! Our major workshop will feature a special guest instructor from Greece, offering a unique opportunity to learn directly from the source and further explore the vibrant traditions of Greek dance.
