Join us for OSUD's 40th season!

Classes for children

The Ottawa School of Ukrainian Dance offers Ukrainian dance instruction to students of all ages and levels. Children as young as 3 begin in the You and Me class accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult friend.  At age four, children register for the Primary class - an introduction to Ukrainian rhythms, music, and dance. Students progress through the School, working for two years at each level.

Students can begin learning in the School at any age (age of student is determined as of Dec. 31, 2018). All classes are held in professionally-equipped dance studios at The School of Dance, 200 Crichton Street (in New Edinburgh off the Vanier Parkway). Below is a list of OSUD classes, held each Sunday, with related ages, class times, and fees.
