They learn and grow their talents under the direction of Trevor Shular, Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Barvinok Ukrainian Dance Society. Our highly accredited teaching staff challenge each dancer's individual strength and endurance and cultivate a deep appreciation of Ukrainian folk dance.

Ukrainian Dance Calgary

Classes for Ages 3 - Adult

Levels of dance are determined by a placement evaluation on the 1st day of class for Beginner, Intermediate and Senior classes.  While the levels are typically associated with birth year, final placement is up to the Artistic Director and Instructors, based on individual talent, specific skills, overall abilities, and the dancer’s years of experience. Registration is open to everyone, including students who are new to dance.

After placements, students are taught by instructors who inspire and teach with passion. Together, our teaching team brings over a century of combined experience to share. As dancers grow with us, they will have opportunities to learn and perform choreography from the folk dancing traditions of many regions.

Most importantly, Barvinok dancers have a lot of fun, enjoy new friendships and a vibrant Ukrainian community.
