MARIANTHI VRETTOU

Country: GREECE

Gyrokinesis Coordinator, Performer

Story: A native of Greece, I started my dance training in classical ballet, modern, flamenco and traditional folk dancing. Soon after receiving my degree in dance education, I moved to New York to study at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance as a demonstrator scholarship recipient. While in New York, I also became a certified Pilates, Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic instructor. I am currently living in Athens where I teach Graham-based dance classes. I'm thrilled I have been chosen to perform for the opening ceremony of the Olympic games in Summer 2004.

Career: My stage experience includes Anna Petrova Dance Company, Theatrokinesis, Proskairi Synthesis, Coyote Dancers, Pearl Lang Dance Theater, Dzul Dance and Saba Dance Theater among others. While in New York, besides performing, I've been teaching Gyrotonic in few studios.

Marianthi & MNE: I'm proudly one of Mare Nostrum Elements founding members. I was in the original cast of "Mediterranean Voices" at the Frederick Loewe Theater and performed at the international choreographic festival "Dancing Planet" at The Stable. I am happy to serve as the Gyrokinesis Coordinator of the training and being part of the leading team for MNEMT workshops.
