I don't know....All the Greek fests that I have attended have lots of 
traditional Greek dancing, and both men and women seem to know how to do it.  
But it may all be inconsequential--one generation from now, no one except a 
few old people and folkdancers/singers may know the traditions of ANY 
culture.  Kind of like the conquistadors burning down the Mayan libraries, 
except this time it's being done by radios and CDs.
