I went to the Greek pavillion four times during the three days of Folkfest: as my very first pavillion, and every night before closing. I loved the Greek dancing performances. I couldn't believe the things that some of the more experienced dancers could do!

The main reason I kept coming back to the Greek pavillion nightly was that one of the dancers does an UNBELIEVABLE flip as part of their performance of the "Zorba". I first saw this last year, and I was hoping it would be a repeat event. I was not disappointed, and got it on video on the second night. As you will see, Diemetri is not the only member of this group that has a great deal of energy and talent.



As midnight got closer, there was a lot of clapping and shouts of "OPA!" and A LOT of broken plates and smashed glasses. Occasionally, they had to take a break from dancing in order to sweep the dance floor! The first night, I felt a chunk of broken plate whiz past my head. Now that's what I call entertainment!!!
