Zirka Ukrainian Dance Ensemble Senior Group

is privileged to have a strong talented senior group of dancers that range in age from 14-18+.   They are a dedicated and committed group of individuals that come together usually twice a week to work on Ukrainian dance skill development, ballet bar work, endurance and stamina.

Their dance repertoire includes a welcoming Pryvit, energetic hopak and other regions of Ukraine and contemporary dance as well.

Since Zirka’s inception in 1972, our senior dancers have had the opportunity to dazzle crowds in Canada from coast to coast, several tours in the U.S. and even Ukraine. Zirka is honoured to share our love of dance with local crowds at Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival hosted by our home town of Dauphin.

Senior dancers work hard on and off the dancer floor with extra fundraising to help establish funds for future tour possibilities. Activities include numerous performance honorariums, Ukrainian Christmas Carolling, pyrohy sales, and annual car wash and May bottle drive.

Zirka Senior Dancers working hard at being great ambassadors for our dance school and our community.
