My name is Maria, and I am a professional dancer in Cretan and Greek dances. I am also the leader of the dancing group of Arolithos Village and the dancing teacher for kids and adults of the local cultural association in the area where I live. I am a very good friend of Michalis, who is the main host of this experience and one of the owners of Arolithos Village. I collaborate with him because he loves dance and culture as much as I do. Very often, Evi, one of the best Cretan dancers in the area of Tilissos, also helps me conduct the dancing lessons.
