Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company
Ukraine didn't become an independent country until 1991, but the culture of the Ukrainian people has been evolving for more than a thousand years. Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company, founded in 1973 by ballet master Pavlo Virsky, embraces the charm, beauty, and folk dance traditions of its homeland and shares them with audiences in the four corners of the world. Clad in colorful clothing and blessed with grace, the company performs dances filled, in turn, with romance, optimism, humor, and occasional melancholy. Since 1980, choreographic ethnographer Myroslav Vantukh has served as artistic director of the company his mentor created. Under Vantukh's leadership, the company of eighty-five artists continues to create dances that enrich an already broad and deep repertoire.
