FDF 2003 |
![]() ![]() ![]() The level of quality demonstrated by many of the participating groups, of all ages, was impressive. Some of the material that was presented required extensive preparation and research for an authentic presentation. ![]() It was an honor to serve as a judge and doing so reflects positively on the Orpheus Dance Troupe as a whole. Since the Troupe's participation in the Seattle conference last year, interaction with directors of dance groups from the west coast has intensified and has fostered the sharing of resources and exchange of ideas. |

Thoughts on Dancing: |
Greek dancing allows me to express my Greek heritage and gives me the opportunity to learn dances from all parts of Greece. This is very special because I don't think there are many people in Greece who have this experience. (Greek) dancing makes me feel happy, energetic, proud to be Greek. And most importantly it frees the spirit, which is very important to a Gemini. |
Favorite Dance: |
Although I may not have mastered it yet, at the moment my favorite dance is Koutsos. It's hard to believe that I didn't like it in the beginning but now, the opposite is true. I especially like the arm movements and my favorite thing is the music. It is so lively. I also love just listening to it! |
Most Vivid OHFS Memory: |
My most vivid memory would have to be all the preparation for The Festival of Greek Music and Dance 2003. It was nerve-wracking, but the performance was fun and exciting all at the same time! |
Favorite Greek Dish: |
My favorite Greek dish would have to be giouvetsi and my mom's spanakopita. |
Favorite Place in Greece: |
Athens |
Hobbies/Sports/Other Interests: |
Singing, acting, (Greek) theater, reading, and dancing. |
Where I heard about Orpheus Dance Troupe: |
I heard about the Orpheus Dance Troupe from my close friend and classmate, Maria Karras. |
