About Us
We are a group of three people who are particularly passionate about traditional dance and have come together to share our knowledge and develop our ideas for stage presentation and dance education.
Having followed different paths through the life of music and dance, and having been involved in several artistic creations, we seek to highlight the common elements and experiences that the arts of dance and music can bring us.
When considering how to transmit traditional culture more effectively, especially with regard to dance and music, we instantly acknowledged the fundamental and inseparable interaction of these two elements.
Our approach to presenting the art of dance and music on stage originates and develops from the way in which we learn traditional dance and our preparation and experimentation through rhythm, music and movement.

Featured Projects
Perfomances

DANCE EVENINGS ANIMATION
We organise dance evenings, full of dance and music. We build an interacting connection with the participants, by entertaining, motivating, and teaching them all sorts of dances.
Music
LIVE CONCERTS • DANCE WORKSHOPS • STUDIO MANAGEMENT
Like dance, music is an indispensable part of tradition and stage presentation. In the course of studying rhythm and melody through their various presentation modes, we try to broaden the knowledge necessary for a better understanding and perception of dance. Also, by performing and presenting music with traditional instruments we can further enhance dance evenings, workshops or performances. Finally, we can assist you in producing any musical arrangements that might be of interest to you.
LIVE CONCERTS
We cooperate with various musicians and singers and organise concerts with Greek folk music for various venues. They can either be ‘time boxed’ or can last longer – Glentia – depending if the audience is dancing or not.
DANCE WORKSHOPS
We organise dance workshops in which we both teach and play music, making it a more interactive experience for everyone. In this way the pace and complexity of the music can be adjusted to match the teaching process and the level of the students.
STUDIO MANAGEMENT
Recording, Mixing and Mastering of any kind of traditional music you might need for private use. Acoustic Vibe Studios is a professional studio that focuses on sound fidelity and quality, specifically designed for producing music on acoustic instruments.
Workshops

GREEK & BALKAN DANCES
