Each year, the Omaha Greek Festival highlights the
Greek love of song and dance. Dancing is a vital element
in the Greek way of life. The Greeks would use dance to
prepare for war; celebrate victories, weddings, and
religious occasions; and at festivals. Dance is regarded
as one of the highest forms of art and almost always has
a story to tell.
