Our Story
For many, Zeibekiko has fast become the No1 must-learn Greek dance. However, for those with no prior dance experience, the thought of learning can seem pretty daunting. The countless styles and variations, make it hard to follow. We’ve been teaching the Zeibekiko for over 25 years with great success, and have developed a methodology proven to get great results from students very quickly. Of course, only the students able to attend our in-person classes were benefitting from this. We decided to create some online content and put it out to see what our students thought about it, and we were really pleased with the feedback! So we listened, tweaked a few things and created more.... and its now available for everyone! Anytime... anywhere!
