This year there will be more dancing than ever before! Dance is a major part of the Greek culture. At the Townsville Xstrata Greek Fest you will be treated to traditional and modern dance from all regions of Greece, and even a great selection of belly dancing. Be sure to watch out for the fantastic costumes which are exclusive to each region and the meticulous craftsmanship which makes them so unique.
