Join us for a festive evening of Greek music, dancing, food, and community, featuring the Rebetiko Roots Ensemble and Springfield International Folk Dancers!
Enjoy an evening of live traditional Greek music, delicious Greek treats and drinks, and the opportunity to experience Greek music and dance up close. Everyone is invited to join the dance floor—no previous dance experience is needed! Whether you are an experienced dancer or have never tried a Greek dance before, come listen, learn, and dance along.
You'll be inside the music when twenty-one performers ring the UIS Colonnade, surrounding the audience, as we present Terry Riley's mesmerizing experimental work "In C."
