(MESSOLONGHI)
Dimitrios Karavasilis is a professor of Physical Education with a specialization in Greek Dance. As well as being a teacher in primary education, Dimitrios has taught at the Polytechnic college in Messolonghi since 2001.
Karavasilis founded the Dance Department of the city of Messolonghi in 1994. Since then, he has performed, taught and directed other instructors involved in the department. He has over 440 appearances to his credit and has won dozens of awards for the group, among them a commendation from the President of the International Dance Council, Professor Alkis Raftis. He continues to research and archive the lost traditions of the area.
Dimitrios has given many seminars and workshops within Greece and abroad, and has been to Toronto on two prior occasions with his dance group in order to perform. We look forward to hosting him at Klironomia in 2010.
