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. With her troupe “Ensemble Ukraine" she performed on the major National Stage in Kyiv “Palace Ukraine” for 7 years and is familiar with a variety of choreographies from all around the country. While Dasha is currently a professional Fitness Coach, she is going back to her roots and invites you to discover the fun and joy of being a true Ukrainian.
