MISSION STATEMENT

Established in 1976

 

Our mission is to educate, promote and preserve cultural awareness to future generations of Greek- Cypriot American born children in our community. We seek to instill love and appreciation for the Greek Cypriot culture by teaching the history of our music and individual dances left behind by our ancestors. We empower and foster the drive of our rich heritage through the Greek secret of philotimo and bridge our Cypriot predecessors ideals by promoting lifelong connections among the youth and their families through interactions during practices as well as numerous performances, cultural ceremonies and political events throughout the year. Our goal is to maintain the Cypriot heritage alive through dancing:

 

“To understand the culture, study the dance. To understand the dance, study the people.”
