Dancers can expect training in classical ballet, contemporary, Choreography, Improvisation, and Somatics. Yannis and Katerina are uniquely skilled to guide dancers through Greece all while guiding them through an exhilarating journey of self-expression and artistic growth. Dancers will be working with Katerina Kopsidas Rodgaard for Ballet, Yannis Adoniou for Choreography and Improvisation, Tatiana Loverdou for Somatics, and other guest artists from Greece.

Odyssey Dance Lab will provide bus transportation for the dancers to get to and from all of the destinations.

The program will cost $2,500. Earlybird pricing is available at $2,200 if paid by February 1. The price does not include air travel to and from Greece. It includes hotels, transportation to and from the destinations, sightseeing tours, workshops, master classes, performances, and performance spaces.

Yes! For entry into Greece, your passport should have at least six months of remaining validity. While Greek law requires three months of passport validity beyond the intended date of your departure, if you are transiting a country that requires six months of validity, you may not be permitted to continue your trip. Passports can take a few months to get. We recommend applying for one as soon as you can.

We have had a lot of interest from parents and families who would also like to go to Greece. And we say that parents and families are welcome! However, the Odyssey is for dancers. For an added fee, we can assist parents in booking their own hotel rooms in the same hotel or a hotel close by. Parents and family members would also be welcome to see all performances and go on all sightseeing and culinary adventures. It is not guaranteed that we will be able to accommodate transportation for additional family members but that is TBD.

There are many flight options to Greece. Some are direct and most have connections. We recommend allowing ample time to arrive by June 12. Keep in mind possible flight delays and layover times. Here are some of the tried and true routes we have taken from the U.S.

We will provide a packing list to all Odyssey members but prepare for warm to hot temperatures during this time of year.

It is cheaper to convert U.S. dollars to Euros once you arrive in Greece. There are also ATMs to use as well as using your credit cards. The vast majority of Greek businesses accept credit cards.

Yes! Being in Greece is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We will see the major archeological sites in Athens, Patras and Lefkada. We will also get to visit beautiful beaches, view amazing sunsets and enjoy some of the best food in the world.

You will want to shop, eat and drink in Greece. On average, things in Greece are similar in price to the U.S. and in many cases, food and drink are more affordable.
