Who We Are

 

The Annual Midwest Hellenic Dance Festival, is an annual event taking place each Columbus Day Weekend.  It is the newest ministry of the Metropolis of Chicago and enjoyed much success during its inaugural year of 2016.   

Our October event originally consisted of dance workshops on Friday evening and Saturday,  led by expert instructors covering various areas of Greece.  It culminated with a Saturday night Glendi showcasing dance troupes from various parts of the Midwest and the Chicago Metropolis and live entertainment.  Our 2019 event has developed into a dance showcase/competition on Saturday, with a planned Awards Ceremnoy and Glendi Saturday evening.  

Each year will offer something new to the weekend of festivities.   

 

It is our hope that through this annual event, we will develop an awareness, appreciation and love for our Hellenic culture and create a greater communion and stronger ties with fellow Greek Orthodox Christians for generations to come.
