DANCE. Direct from Thessaloniki, Rena Karyofyllidou and Kyriakos Moisidis bring us a Greek dance series with a thematic emphasis on the Spring season. We will start with the Kozani/Grevena region of West Macedonia, then the Serres/Drama region of East Macedonia. The third week will feature the East Romylia and Evros regions of Thrace, and we will  finish with dances of Asia Minor and Pontos. Dance levels will be of varying difficulties, and we will cover men's and women's styling and aspects of improvisation. Dancers of all levels are welcome!

SINGING. We're thrilled to welcome Lauren Brody back for a second Bulgarian song series with all-new material! Join her for a fascinating vocal survey of many of her favorite solo, two-voiced songs, and ballads from across Bulgaria's rich folklore regions. This class is open to all singers, but comfort with learning by ear is a plus. Texts, translations, musical transcriptions, and audio sources will be provided.
