Levendia-X Hellenic Folklore Association (Levendia-X) is an independent, professional dance group that was established in 1996 with the objective of preserving and cultivating Hellenic culture, focusing on Greek traditional and modern dance. Since its inception, Levendia-X has represented Greek tradition at over 100 different venues in the province, nationally and internationally. Renowned for our artistic spirit, and educational and cultural support of the Greek community, Levendia-X recognizes the importance of maintaining the Greek traditions many members have been raised with for the enjoyment of generations to come.

 

 

Building a Name

What's in a Name

The name "Levendia" reflects the way the group dances – with youthful vigor, bravery, pride, honour, strength, style, charisma and beauty. In other words, the intent was not to simply learn the steps to a particular dance, but to perform the dance with passion. We felt that the Greek word Levendia best expressed these characteristics for a group of individuals. The "X" was added to the name for three reasons:

a. It symbolized that the group was originally made up of individuals from popular culture's generation-X era

b. It commemorates the club promoters, Generation-X, whose assistance with the early development of our group was influential

c. When the X is tilted on its side, it represents the Greek flag.

On January 9, 1997, the name Levendia-X was born.
