Ukrainians are well-known for their love of partying, with merry songs and energising dances. The party traditions of this great country have their roots in the old times, mass holiday celebrations in villages, and even back to the days of the Kozaks in the Zaporozhian Sich. Interested to learn more? Come to our Ukrainian Dance Workshop and try out some historical dance moves to the tunes of traditional and modern Ukrainian music.
Led by Dasha Walmsley who danced Ukrainian Traditional Dance all her childhood.
