Greg first got involved in Greek dance with the Philhellenic Folkdancers of Vancouver, and quickly realized that his love for traditional Greek culture, music and song was becoming more than just an occasional hobby. Along with the Philhellenics, he has been involved with the All Saints Greek Orthodox Church Senior Group, Levendia-X, and currently is dancing with Paradosi Hellenic Dance Company. Greg has attended numerous workshops in Toronto, Seattle, Tucson, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and Greece, and is on the executive board for Klironomia Hellenic Folklore in Canada.

Greg plans his trips to Greece around learning more about dance and village life, and his experiences range from attending Sarakatsani gatherings in Epirus to weddings in Metsovo and traditional paniyiris on Ikaria island. This is Greg's second year as an instructor for the Messinia senior dance group.
