Great experience! - The energy of the male dancers was wonderful! Didn't enjoy the second act as much as the first and third but still very good!

Authentic dance show - Dont waste money expecting to see dance shows in a tavern! For only 15 euros you get the best company, which researches the etnology of each regional dance and performs them in an open air theather at the Acropolis foothills. Rich costumes and jewelry plus 8 musiciens add to the show!

A not to miss treat - Thoroughly enjoyed this show. Best way to end our trip to Athens. Wonderful energy and so entertaining. Being in the lovely outside theatre was a bonus.

Greek music and dance - Attended with 3 teens while vacationing in Greece. Dancing and music was very professional: slow paced, measured and formal. Expected some audience participation. Maybe not the best choice for kids.

Our one dance experience - Well, the costumes were brilliant and the music lovely. The dancers were talented and skilled. However, the choreography was, for the most part, boring. If you were to go to a wedding and repeat the same steps over and over again, it might be fine. However, as a viewer, the amount of repetition made for a lack of interest in the performance. At the end, the dancing became livelier and more varied and consequently, more exciting. Beware! Do not walk in the park to get to the theater but take the sidewalk as much as possible. I got bit by a dog whose owners appeared stoned out of their minds. Pretty upsetting incident.

Dora Stratou folkdance - Unfortunately, my review is not positive. The dance company cancelled the performance due to weather. The rain lasted about 7 minutes. We stayed in the area for about an hour and the weather was fine. They ticket office refused to reimburse our tickets because we put purchase them on line with Tripadvisor. Not sure how I can get my money back. The management of Dora Stratou is lacking. The customer service is not present. This enterprise along with Tripadvisor's ability to sell tickets that tourists cannot have reimbursed appears to be a scam. Dora Stratou ability to so quickly cancel the event may be considered another scam. We waited time, ticket money, and taxi money. The location is not very accessible.
