There are two ways Greek people connect with themselves, each other, and their heritage. The first is food. The second is dance. When We Dance: The Thread Back Home explores how Greek folk dance keeps the diaspora connected to their identity and their heritage.
From Baltimore to Toronto, Director Athena Hiotis, a first-generation Greek-American, sits with dancers of all ages, instructors who dedicate their lives to this work, and the cultural researchers who study where these dances came from and how they’ve evolved.
When We Dance reveals a simple truth: it doesn't matter how much Greek you speak, where you were born, or what percentage Greek you are. When you dance, you are fully connected to what it means to be Greek.
Each story is different. The message is the same: when we dance, we come home.
