SUPER-SIZED Live Greek Music! The fresh rhythms and beats of Seizmos will fill the night air. Dance, sing and if the spirit moves you, yell “OPA!”. Come feel what the excitement is all about!
Traditional Folk Dancing Greek dance is a very old tradition, being referred to by ancient authors such as Plato, Aristotle and Plutarch. There are different styles and interpretations from all of the islands and surrounding mainland areas. Each region formed its own choreography and style to fit in with their own ways. For example, island dances have more of a "watery" flow to them, while Pontic dancing closer to Black Sea, is very sharp. There are over 4000 traditional dances that come from all regions of Greece. There are also Pan Hellenic dances, which have been adopted throughout the Greek world. These include the tsamiko, syrtos, and kalamatianos. The Greek Affair will be hosting dance troupes from surrounding Greek communities. Performances are scheduled throughout the weekend. Come and enjoy the music, traditional costumes and dances of Greece! Schedule of Dance Performances: Friday, September 20 7:00-St. Luke Ellinakia 7:30-St. Luke Olympians Saturday, September 21 6:30-St. Luke Ellinakia 7:00-St. Luke Olympians 7:30-St. Demetrios, Upper Darby 8:00-Pan Macedonians Dancers Sunday, September 22 3:30-St. Sophia, Jeffersonville, PA 4:00-St. George, Media 4:30-St. Luke Ellinakia 5:00-St. Luke Olympians

Shopping in Athens is a favorite pastime for tourists and Athenians and one of the best places to buy is the Flea Market at Monastiraki! The Greek Affair is pleased to present their own Monastiraki.
