Greek Dance
Here at Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church we have dance groups for children, young adults, and adults. Our younger dance groups perform at cultural events throughout the year, participate in the annual Austin Greek Festival and several other performances throughout the year.
The Mission of the Greek Dance Ministry
- Fellowship & Faith: To bring our community together in Orthodox Christian fellowship and love, creating greater communion and stronger ties among all who participate.
- Culture & Heritage: To promote, encourage, and perpetuate Hellenic culture and traditions through traditional dance and song, inspiring participants to develop an awareness and appreciation for the Orthodox faith and Greek heritage.
- Character & Growth: To grow together in spirit and strength, always bringing out the best in each participant. We promote ethical and moral standards befitting the life of an Orthodox Christian, teaching teamwork, commitment, unity, and family.
- Service & Outreach: To embody the principles of Diakonia and Koinonia through service to the greater community, performing for other Churches, charitable organizations, and schools, while actively informing others of the Ministry’s events, opportunities, and commitment to its purposes and goals.
- Leadership & Stewardship: To provide leadership skills that perpetuate the Ministry through the practical application of developed skills in the administration of this organization, while establishing and maintaining a stable administrative body to achieve the purposes outlined in this mission.
Our Groups
We welcome all dancers from elementary school to young adults. If there is enough interest we offer adult dance lessons as well.
