Grupi Arbëria, our dance group, meets every other Sunday at 1pm.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could help spread the word among families with children aged 5 through 17 who might be interested in joining our program.

We are so grateful for the sacrifices many of our families make to provide their children with an education in Albanian language and culture. We strongly believe that investing in your child's Albanian cultural heritage is a rewarding endeavor.

We eagerly anticipate working together in cooperation for the benefit of these young learners.

 

Ardit Breznica

Grupi Arberia Dance Instructor

I am secretary for the Shkolla Shqipe Arberia board and one of the dance instructors for Grupi Arberia. My goal is to preserve the Albanian culture in the United States by educating younger generations of Albanians on the importance of their language, traditions, and ethnic background. It brings me a lot of joy to teach dance and see the younger generations of Albanian kids bond together through one of the most important parts of the Albanian culture.

 

Camilla Nameti

Grupi Arberia Dance Instructor

I am one of the dance teachers for Grupi Arberia. I look forward to getting to know all the kids and hopefully helping them learn and love the great cultural background that we share. I find this opportunity as more of an important chance to be able to pass down beautiful Albanian traditions to the next generation.
