Attendees were treated to a captivating performance by the Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne Dance group, enhancing the atmosphere as DUGS members and guests engaged in lively conversations and took photographs to commemorate the special evening.

The talented Club DJs, Kosta and Thomas Nico, set the mood for the night with their music selections, complemented by live musicians Nick Sofos on percussion and Harris on bouzouki, keeping the dance floor energized until the early hours.

President Aleks Paris credited the event’s success to the dedication of the executive and general committee members. Nick Sofos on percussion and Harris on bouzouki electrified the venue, ensuring a packed dance floor throughout the night.


“The event’s triumph can be attributed to the generous sponsorships and raffles totalling over $20,000, as well as the unwavering support from all university Greek Clubs,” said Paris, expressing DUGS’s excitement for upcoming events. “Let’s continue to uphold Greek spirit, culture, language, and traditions together!”
