Youth shine at the Kytherian November Dinner Dance celebration

·

On Saturday, November 23, the annual November Dinner Dance of the Kytherian Association of Australia (KAA) was held at The Concord located in Concord, Sydney’s Inner West. 

The evening provided the opportunity for the Friday Night Greek Dancing students, ably taught by dance teachers, Joanna Tsakiridis and Penelope Samios, to perform a selection of dances they have been learning throughout the year and for all generations from the wider Kytherian and philo-Kytherian community to get together. 

The President of the KAA, Barbara Zantiotis, spoke on the night and congratulated the students for their efforts throughout the year and also acknowledged the parents for encouraging their children to attend.

“As the future of the KAA rests with you, our younger generation, I encourage you all to continue learning as this will enable our traditions, heritage and culture to be maintained. In addition, it ensures the survival and longevity of our wonderful association which is 102 years old. An amazing achievement in itself!” Ms Zantiotis said.
