Welcome to Greek Dance!

Join us for a vibrant journey into the world of Greek dance at Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Our program celebrates the rich traditions of Greece, fosters community, and creates lasting memories through music and dance. We look forward to welcoming new and returning dancers to this enriching program. It's a wonderful opportunity to engage in a healthy, enjoyable activity while learning about Greek culture. Sign up today and let's dance our way through a fantastic year!

Program Details (2024-2025):

• Start Date:

  Greek dance begins on September 20th.

• Registration Fee:

  There is no registration fee to join the Greek Dance program. This is a completely free program sponsored by our church of Saints Constantine and Helen. Dance families will only be asked to contribute to dry cleaning fees for costumes worn during performances.

• Performances:

  Our dance groups will have the opportunity to showcase their skills at our Apokreatiko Glenti (at the end of February and beginning of March) as well as at our Brooklyn Greek Festival (performance dates June 6th-8th).

The Holy Orthodox Primary Education, or HOPE's mission is to strengthen the relationship of young Orthodox Christians with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The program works to educate and edify young members of the Church, encouraging them to become active sacramental participants in the life of the Body of Christ. This ministry offers them the opportunity to experience the Faith, ultimately leading them to Salvation.

HOPE is a ministry of the Church and is open to all children in Kindergarten through Second Grade. It is not an organization or club, but simply a gathering of the faithful of the Church who share the same grades, ages, and common interests. It is a spiritual ministry, based on the theological tenets of the Orthodox Christian Faith.

The four elements of worship, fellowship, service, and witness will be integrated into the program. The meetings will involve prayer, mini-lessons with movement and discussion, arts and crafts, snacks, and playtime. HOPE meets in conjunction with JOY.

JOY (Junior Orthodox Youth) is our youth group for children in grades three through six. The JOY program has the same objectives as all ministries of the church: to lead young people into a living and active relationship with Jesus Christ.

Consequently, the programs and activities that we develop must always, directly and indirectly, lead in this direction. It is at this age that a foundation of faith can best be set; a foundation that will guide and strengthen our young people as they progress into junior high and high school.

The foundation of all youth ministry is the cultivation and education of our young people in order to become viable members of the Body of Christ.

It is virtually impossible to keep up with every new trend and movement in youth culture. Growing up in today’s society is a much more difficult task than it was in previous times. Our young people are being shaped by negative and destructive influences, ones that can and will define who they are and who they will become. For this reason, the positive teachings and traditions of the Orthodox Church must become a living presence in their lives. This makes youth ministry not an option, but a necessity.

The Greek Orthodox Youth of America, or GOYA, ministers to young people in grades 7 – 12

President: To Be Elected in Fall 2024

GOYA will focus on Greek Dance lessons, as well as events, outings, and other service opportunities. Join us for our opening BBQ this Saturday, September 14th

Every Sunday, we have a special gathering called the Divine Liturgy, where we all come together to celebrate and be a part of a wonderful community event. It's like a team effort!



Boys who are in the First Grade or older can join as altar boys. Altar boys wear special robes and help during the Divine Liturgy. We need them to be ready and dressed in their robes by 10:15 a.m.

Girls, you can be part of the fun too! You can be a Liturgical Reader. Each Sunday, a different girl can volunteer to read an exciting story called The Epistle in English. You also get to lead everyone in saying the Creed and the Our Father in English. It's like being a storyteller and a leader!

If you are interested in being a Liturgical Server, please contact Father Ev! (frevagoras@afantis.org)
