Welcome to our annual Ottawa School of Ukrainian Dance Winter Celebration – presented to you virtually for the first time ever! Шановнi пані і панови - вітаємо вcіх. Привіт! Bienvenue à toutes et à tous!

Each video in our Virtual Winter Celebration will show you a glimpse inside the dance studios as students demonstrate some of the learning and fun experienced in our School classes. You’ll see a variety of brief excerpts – warmups, training sequences, small snippets of choreography - all filmed during the final class of our Fall 2021 term. A big thank you to OSUD teachers for their generosity of time and spirit as they filmed and produced these videos with personal equipment. A truly multi-talented bunch!
​
Alongside showing off their own learning, our Winter Celebration has always been an opportunity for our students to enjoy a performance in full costume by Svitanok Ensemble dancers. Take a look for the video of Svitanok's Привітальний танець/Welcome Dance included here.

From our dance family to yours, wishing everyone all the best as we head into another historic holiday season. Looking forward to connecting with you all again in the new year.

Sit back, enjoy, and don’t forget to leave your comments in the "Comments" section at the bottom of this page!
