Theodora (Dora) is a well known instructor who has been affiliated with many organizations, workshops and dance groups as both a dancer and teacher. Her aptitude and passion for the Greek culture has taken the groups she has led to another level of knowledge and skill. Among these include The Greek Community of Metropolitan Toronto (GCMT) "Dionysos", the Pan-Kalavritinon Association, the Metomorphisis Greek Dance Group, and the All Saints Greek Orthodox Church Hellas Dancers. She is currently an instructor for Paradosi Hellenic Dance Company, an organization that Dora co-founded and in which several of the Messinian senior dancers also participate.

Dora is an executive with Klironomia Hellenic Folklore in Canada and has been involved with the Pan-Messinian dance groups for the past three years. She is a firm believer in authenticity in traditional dance, costumes and music, and travels to Greece regularly for workshops and to pursue her own research.
