The Ukrainian Shumka Dancers dazzle audiences across Canada and around the world.  This book explores the energy created by the company that Frank Augustyn of the National Ballet has called "one of the most brilliant dance troupes in Canada today."  Shumka: Tradition in Motion explores the roots of Ukrainian dance in Canada and Shumka's contributions to this art form since it's inception in 1959.  It captures the excitement created for audiences and performers alike, from the company's first performances in Edmonton church halls to its triumphant first tour of Ukraine in 1990.
