WORKSHOPS
Explore. Learn. Experience.
At Figoura, learning extends beyond our regular weekly classes.
Throughout the year, we offer a variety of workshops designed to help students deepen their understanding of Greek dance, music, culture, and traditions. These sessions provide an opportunity to explore specific themes, dance styles, regions, and cultural topics in greater detail than is often possible within a regular class setting.
Workshops may focus on:
-
Individual dances and dance families
-
Regional traditions and styles
-
Musicality and interpretation
-
Cultural customs and heritage
-
Performance skills and presentation
-
Guest teachers and specialist topics
-
Certification support and development
Workshops are open to Figoura students and, where appropriate, may also be available to the wider community.
Whether you are looking to enhance your dancing, broaden your cultural knowledge, or simply enjoy a deeper exploration of Greek traditions, our workshops offer a rewarding and engaging learning experience.
Upcoming Workshops
Introduction to Cretan Dances
Open exclusively to current Figoura students
There is much more to Cretan dance than learning the steps.
In this introductory workshop, we’ll explore Syrtos, Siganos, Pentozali, Maleviziotikos and Sousta, discovering how music, rhythm, regional identity and tradition shape the different dances of Crete.
Come ready to dance, listen and discover the tradition behind the movement.
Friday 30 October | 8:00–9:30pm
Danceworks, Mayfair | £20 per person
For currently enrolled Figoura students only. Places are limited and early booking is strongly recommended.
