ABOUT FIGOURA
The UK's first dedicated Greek dance school, offering structured Greek dance education, cultural experiences, performance opportunities, and pathways to international dance certification.
About Figoura
Figoura – School of Greek Dance was born from a passion-driven vision, shaped and refined over many years of research, training, and experience. This dedication forms the foundation of our teaching philosophy and class structure. Combined with our warm, energetic, and enjoyable environment, it’s what keeps our students coming back year after year and draws in those seeking something beyond the conventional.
We take pride in our approach to teaching, our deep understanding of Greek dance, and our ability to blend traditional styles with a modern perspective. Our founder and lead instructor, Jack Iacovou (Greek: Ιάκωβος Ιακώβου) brings years of experience and a rich, versatile repertoire. With this expertise, we carefully structure our classes to maximise learning, ensuring students achieve strong results from the very beginning.
At Figoura, we are more than just a dance school, we are a community united by a shared passion for Greek dance. We believe this art form should be accessible to everyone, and we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where each student can grow, express themselves, and excel.
Whether you join us for enjoyment, fitness, or cultural connection, our goal is to give every student a rewarding experience and a solid foundation in dance. We are committed to helping each individual discover their strengths and reach their full potential.
Our repertoire spans a wide range of regions, including Crete, Epirus, Macedonia & Thrace, the Peloponnese, Central Greece, the Aegean and Ionian Islands, Cyprus, and Asia Minor, among others. Each dance is taught with care and authenticity, grounded in thorough research to honour its origins and cultural significance.
We are also proud to accompany our teaching with an extensive library of authentic music, enhancing the experience and preserving the true spirit of each dance.
There is no better place to begin your Greek dance journey. At Figoura, our vibrant classes and expert teaching set a standard that stands out across London and the UK.
