Bitaemo!

Welcome to the world of Shumka School!

Let us take you on a whirlwind tour.... Shumka School of Dance is a wonderful, exciting place where friends are made and dance dreams are realized.

Since 1989, Shumka School has served the youngest members of the Shumka Family -- enriched by all of the cultural traditions that Shumka represents. Our sister organization, the Viter Ukrainian Dancers, have earned the reputation of Junior Performing Ensemble of Shumka. Together, the two groups serve as the training ground for the world-renown Ukrainian Shumka Dancers. We're very proud of the fact that over 75% of today's Shumka dancers have come to the troupe via Shumka School and Viter.

Shumka School offers an intensive training program for dancers of all ages. Our Core Program uses the Syllabus for Ukrainian Dance. It is complemented with competitive and non-competitive performance opportunities. Our Enrichment Program allows dancers to practice their art more than once a week. It is perfect for students from other clubs. And we can't forget about our Adult classes -- perfect for friendship, fitness and fun.

Whatever your age and interest, there is a class for you at Shumka School!

We believe that building self-esteem and friendships are essential elements to a dancer's progress. And we are committed to each individual's long-term safety and success that result from step-by-step skill development.

Our Ukrainian culture has many exquisite faces and even more vibrant colours. It is a gift of tradition and heritage that we share with each other and with the world. As we represent that heritage, our dedicated staff of Shumka dancers will be there to guide you and share the traditions.
