OSUD Classes and Programmes

Join us for osud's 41st season!

Stay tuned for OSUD programming details for 2021!

We're determined to continue to provide Ukrainian dance opportunities that encourage smiles on our students' faces and allow us all to feel uplifted by the waves of energy that come from movement to music! We eagerly await the chance to welcome new faces into our OSUD family and to chat together again as we re-establish safe, social connections with familiar faces.

We're committed to keeping the joy and unique richness of Ukrainian dance culture alive in Ottawa!

And while you're waiting...put some music on and keep on dancing in your kitchens and green spaces!

Classes for children and youth

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 (student age is determined as of Dec. 31, 2019). All classes are held in professionally-equipped dance studios at The School of Dance, 200 Crichton Street (in New Edinburgh off the Vanier Parkway).
