On July 31, students will arrive in the historic ancient city of Athens. The first evening of programming on August 1, will include a faculty/student meet and greet orientation dinner in historic Monistiraki. Our time in Athens consists of introductory seminars led by Greek Artists in Ancient Greek Theatre and Traditional Greek Dance and additional dance classes at the beautiful Rallou Manou Dance Studio, just three stops by metro from our hotel. In the late afternoon, students will trek up to the Acropolis for a guided tour of its temples, theatres, and slopes.
