AS A TRIBUTE TO ATHAN KARRAS

Athan Karas died on February 12, 2010

His name is synonymous with Greek dance. Mr. Karas, had been an instructor of Greek Dance and Culture at Loyola Marymount University, has danced with major dance companies and has researched Greek dance as an exponent of his career. He has successfully produced and presented folklore programs and events in the U.S. and Canada and he was instrumental in bringing the Parthenon Dancers of Greece to the U.S.

What very few people know is the fact that Athan Karas, in addition to having appeared on Broadway and television, he has also starred in motion pictures. One of the first Greek-American films is “Dark Odyssey”.
