The resurgence of Greek customs, the preservation of Greek traditional dances, the music and songs of the Greek traditional uniform, is a difficult effort, as the Greek tradition has to remain untouched.

     This is a work undertaken by the Lyceum of the Greek Females, which is consists of 43 branches in Greece and 9 abroad. It was formed in 1957 and holds dance divisions as well as departments for the learning of traditional music and instruments. It also has a wide wardrobe with all the traditional uniforms of Greece. 

     Lyceum participates in many festivals and wins prizes for its excellent traditional dance performance. Some of these prizes are; B’ prize in Neizon of France in 1973, A’ prize in Siatones of France in 1987, and other in the Friendship Festivals in Italy, Germany, Holland, Austria, Belgium, England, Israel, Arabic countries, Australia, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, and America.

     Lyceum is also organizing festivals in order to fight against drugs, or other matters like national problems, the care for children etc. For instance, on July 1991 in Filipous there was a festival, the revenues of which were given to the community “Ithaki”( therapeutics community).The title of the festival was “Dance with us for life”, it was concerning the fight against drugs and it was organized by the Lyceums of Greek Females of Kavala, Drama, Xanthi and Serres.

     Revenues of the festival under the title “come with us because some kids hope in our help”, were given to the kids of the first children’s village of Northern Greece.
