Scoot, a longstanding supporter of the Antipodes Festival has once again offered up the ultimate prize to the competition winner – a return flight to Greece.

Taking place on the main stage on Saturday 24 of February, The Zorba ‘Til You Drop dance competition will be a true test of endurance, as participants will have the opportunity to dance to the iconic music of Mikis Theodorakis until there is only one participant standing.

Dean Kotsianis, Board Member of the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) remarked, “The Zorba dance is a timeless tradition. Its movements, sounds, and energy have the power to transport you mentally to Greece. Now, with our incredible partners at Scoot, we can ‘teleport’ there physically too! Thousands will watch, hundreds will apply but only a few will have their chance at glory. This competition is, for me, one of the most exciting events of our Antipodes Festival. We are fortunate to pair it with such exciting individuals and partners.” 

Adding to Dean’s comment, Antonia Tsamis, the GCM Events Manager and Co-ordinator of the Antipodes Festival stated “I am thrilled to see the Festival continue to grow and flourish. We are grateful for Scoot’s continued support, which allows us to create unforgettable experiences for our Festival attendees, and the ability to offer such an incredible prize.”

The Antipodes Festival will take place on the 24th and 25th of February.
