My favorite: 14. You took Greek folk dance lessons, and kept it a secret from your non-Greek friends at school https://greekreporter.com/2021/02/28/fifteen-things-all-greek-americans-experience-in-their-childhood/?fbclid=IwAR3_4PXInwHY3sb0RuCnfPq-ccWnqv7WsFoLUYKwiqaSLH6Le_LS1BNgD8Q

Growing up Greek-American you are privy to a unique childhood, filled with some pretty strange customs (strange to those who are not Greek, anyway).

Dear FDF Family,

We pray you and your families are in good health and spirit.

Since our last communication regarding FDF and an in-person event in 2021, we continued to monitor COVID-19 and health regulations across the states for events and gatherings. Unfortunately, we are unable to host an in-person event in 2021.

This has been a challenging year for us all since we last saw each other in February 2020. Although we cannot all be together this coming February, the FDF team honors our faith, heritage and traditions year-round. We plan to stay connected and keep the kefi going through our social channels for now.

Thank you for your continued support of this ministry. We look forward to seeing you in 2022.

So grateful for this honor received on Christmas Day from Bridges International Film Festival ΓΕΦΥΡΕΣ-Παγκόσμιος Κινηματογράφος!!!
WIFT GR gives the Bridges' Festival established “NOSTIMON IMAR” award to the film KEFI, THE STORY OF FDF, GREEK ORTHODOX FOLK DANCE FESTIVAl by Patti Testerman from the United States, for the exciting, fast alternation of dance and verbal-narrative scenes, with dynamic movement and melodicity. Interesting remarks-references to the role of cultural heritage and the function of tradition in multicultural societies, such as the United States in particular. The film preserves the civilization, encourages multiculturalism and the cooperation of generations and shows us the quality side of the Greek Diaspora. https://bridgesfest.eu/en/festival/awards
