Greek line & circle folk dances to recorded music, with occasional singing
& playing of instruments by participants. Most Sunday evenings from 7:00-9:00
PM at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 1755 Des Peres Road (Go to 270 and
Manchester and Des Peres Road South.)
Extra: For those of you craving good Greek taverna dancing, keep an eye on the Majestic Restaurant in the Central West End at Laclede and Euclid. Every so often on a Saturday night, a wonderful bouzouki band comes over from Illinois to play. Of course, this means that lots of spontaneous Greek line and circle dances take place. In true Mediterranean style, they won't be pinned down to a schedule, but it's worth it to keep checking.
