Zabava (Dinner & Dance)
Barvinok dancers perform throughout the year at several events. The family-favourite event of the year is our annual Dinner & Dance (Zabava), held the first Saturday of February.
Pictured below, this event is a celebration of our Ukrainian dancing community and features a traditional Ukrainian dinner, dance performances by our students, a live Ukrainian band, silent auction and 50/50 raffle.
The highlight of the evening is the kolomeyka where our dancers and their guests show off their dance moves.
Fall Workshop for Senior Dancers
On a Saturday in November, dancers in our Senior Class participate in a special full day workshop!
In one day they learn a completely new dance and techniques to enhance their craft as dancers.
Festivals
Spring is defined by our festival season.
In March we are proud to participate in the Southern Alberta Ukrainian Dance Festival in Calgary, Alberta…
Next we travel with our senior and adult classes in March (19th – 23rd in 2025) to compete in the Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance Festival in Edmonton, Alberta…
and we finish at The Calgary Ukrainian Festival the first full weekend in June.
Vision of Dance
Every May, we share our accomplishments at our year end concert, which showcases the growth and development of our dancers. Family and friends join us at the University Theatre to share in our Vision of Dance.
Join us for Vision of Dance by purchasing tickets in advance at the theatre’s box office as tickets are not available at the door. General seating.
Many parents follow the tradition of giving their performers flowers or a treat when they meet in the lobby after the show.
Performance Requests
We often receive invitations to perform at events and are open to opportunities to share our love of dance.
We take great pride in being able to contribute to culture and community.
