Tavria Ukrainian Folk Dance Ensemble & Dance School

After 5 performances in just 4 weeks, it’s time to pause, reflect, and look ahead!

Today was Season Goal Setting Day with our ensemble — a chance to celebrate what we’ve accomplished so far, reflect on what we’ve learned, and set some goals for the season ahead.

A big thank you to Dr. Kristen Dudeck | Chiropractor for the inspiration to have our dancers think about the importance of taking care of their bodies, building strength, and staying healthy throughout a busy performance season. 💙

We are proud of this group and all the hard work, dedication, and energy they’ve brought to the stage already. And they are just getting started!

(P.S. Thank you to the real seagulls outside that we could hear inside during this activity for adding to the atmosphere).

We performed on stage floors washed and prepped for the best presentation but also on the turf of Mosaic Stadium and the cobblestone of Kyiv Ukraine so gathering to celebrate Regina’s growth and the Roughriders on the streets of Dewdney Ave we will proudly add to our incredible list of venues.

Thank you for having us Regina's Warehouse District and congratulations on the kickoff of Warehouse Fest.

We are so proud of these young performers dedicated to spreading culture at multiple events a day! Ran into Regina’s Mayor Mayor Chad Bachynski while we enjoyed the festivities at District Fest here downtown on Dewdney.

First show of the day took us to Annual Harvest Moon Festival which we have been blessed to perform at three years in a row! It’s nice to get performances going early in the season.

We were honoured to have our dancers invited to perform at the Pakistani Cultural Gala.

We are grateful for opportunities like this to share our Ukrainian culture while being part of something that brings our community together.

We are incredibly proud of our dancers for representing our organization and Ukrainian culture at such a meaningful evening, and for being part of an incredible $55,000 raised in support of the Allan Blair Cancer Centre.

Thank you to the Pakistani Community Association, the organizing committee and everyone who made this evening possible. We know first hand how much work goes into planning these events. Congratulations on your success.
