Chrisafo Madimenos, an excellent teacher of Greek social dance, weaves lessons about the aesthetics and meaning of dances into her classes. The Brooklyn-raised Chrisafo spent summers in Greece with her family, where she learned village dance traditions. She has danced in a number of Hellenic ensembles and co-directed Orchesis Center for Dance and Movement, a Brooklyn-based dance school and troupe. She is also a speech-language pathologist and has taught dance to special needs children.

Chrisafo teaches simple and complex Greek dances and wears examples of regional dress. She can adapt her classes to youth, families or seniors. Although Chrisafo teaches on her own, group performances can be arranged with advance notice.
