Lakemba was alive with the rhythm of Greek tradition last Saturday evening, as Paroula Thurban’s dance group delivered a spectacular performance at the Greek Community Centre.

The event, which drew an overflowing audience of parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends, showcased the rich tapestry of Greek heritage through dance.

From the youngest performers, bursting with energy and charm, to the experienced dancers demonstrating years of refined skill, each moment was a vivid display of cultural pride.

The group, led by the much-loved Paroula and her talented daughter Nicole, captivated the crowd with a series of traditional dances that told stories of Greece’s vibrant past and enduring spirit.

The hall resonated with applause as spectators clapped along to the beats, swept up in the joyful celebration.

Parents and family members were brimming with pride as they watched their children take the stage, embodying the essence of Greek culture. The heartfelt performances brought the community together in a shared moment of connection and cultural appreciation.
