Subject: RE: Greek Dancing in Greece mainland
You will be late, the Dora Stratou theatre in Athens (home of Greek traditional dance, the equivalent to Cecil Sharp House for the EFDSS in the UK) is open May to September. But here is the link, contact them, and they may be putting on performances in covered venues somewhere.
Though it has to be said - the main Dora Stratou theatre in the summer, with the oleander bushes and the basil and myrtle putting out a symphony of smells in the evening, high up Philopappou hill overseeing Athens, a cool beer in your hand and the finest Greek traditional dancing, is an experience to be savoured.
