The project

In 2003 we started up the first course of Greek dances at Casa del Quartiere in Rome. From then on we have never looked back and dancing is always on our mind. To plan is a constant of our relationship with dancing: from grown-ups to children, working in schools and associations, spreading the ancient Greek myths and telling plays such as Panigyri, Paradosiakos Gamos e I Taverna where our purpose is to describe symbols and cerimonies through dance and theatre.  Now we teach at Cip in Rome.

We also like to involve people we meet along our way: dancers, musicians, actors, researchers, people simply passionate about Greek culture such as the eccentric Dimitris, the photo-dancer Irene and Dany, the skilful Sofia, the theatrical Giulio, Riky, the rebetes Εβή Εβάν, the nice Olga, the musical duet Kostas & Nikkolò, the wonderful Fotinì, Meltemi Trio... And, obviously, pupils from our course who have been following us from the very beginning with great enthusiasm.

Come and see us at the association CIP (www.cipeventi.it) in Rome where we run classes, seminars, performances etc.

Since 2007 Opa Opa and the Orchestra Evì Evàn have started planning for rebetika events and live performaces. Since 2011 Opa Opa has collaborated with the traditional musicians Meltemi Trio.

 

 

Cip is situated in Via delle ciliege 42 (Rome).
