"Kalamatiano" Dance Practice

This video shows our Greek dancing group Atalandi practising for one of the biggest performances we have had this year. Our dance group was given the opportunity to perform at the Sydney Greek Festival on the 24th of March 2008. The dance you see is a partner dance that is very fast and up beat. The song is called “Yia Sena Na Pethano”. It’s about a guy that will do anything to get the girl that he wants. We chose to open with this dance as it is lively and we thought would get the crowd cheering. Spiro, my sister Kayla, my brother Peter and I choreographed this dance. We filmed us practising to see what areas we needed to improve on. These areas of improvement were, reconnecting back into a circle at the same time, moving with our partners at the same time and making our moves stronger and more energetic. This dance is quick so we all had to be light and fast on our feet. Putting all these areas of improvement was hard, but paid off when we performed. The reason why we needed to be polished and perfect is because in Sydney there is a lot of Greek dancing groups and we wanted Canberra to be one of the better groups.
