Our Instructors & Staff

Students are nurtured by a talented group of instructors carefully selected from the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers for their experience and training. Each instructor has a broad background in Ukrainian dance complemented by skills in ballet and other dance forms. Staff members have extensive teaching experience and supplement that with knowledge of Ukrainian language, rituals, customs, costuming and ethnography. All instructors demonstrate a passion for their art and transfer that into dedication for their teaching.

In order to ensure quality instruction, we provide our instructors with regular development through workshops, seminars and syllabus training.
