A highlight of the 45th Dimitria Greek Festival Celebration Luncheon, hostd by Pan Macedonian Federation of South Australia, was welcoming the Greek Lyceum of South Australia Inc to the dance floor.

Celebrating 33 years in 2026, the Greek Lyceum has been sharing the richness of Hellenic folk culture and heritage with audiences across Adelaide and beyond since 1993, through traditional and contemporary Greek dance.

Under the guidance of dance teachers Marie Arvanitakis and Alexandra Nikias, students from young children through to adults continue to learn, perform and keep these traditions alive.

Thank you to the dancers, teachers, committee and families of the Greek Lyceum for being part of our Dimitria celebration and for bringing such energy and colour to the afternoon. 💙

We’re delighted to announce that the Greek Lyceum of South Australia will also be performing at this year’s Dimitria Greek Festival.

We look forward to seeing you there as we continue celebrating our legacy, culture and heritage.
