KUPALO
Since it's inception in 1982, under the St. Basil's Language Arts Society, the Kupalo Ukrainian Dance Ensemble has fostered the love of Ukrainian dance and provided its members with a high degree of technical training in Ukrainian Canadian dance.Under the Artistic Direction of Shelley Borowski, the Kupalo Ukrainian Dance Ensemble has entertained audiences both locally and abroad with their dynamic style, energy and professionalism. This has lead to their evolution into one of Edmonton's highly respected semi-professional Ukrainian Dance Ensembles.
Recent Summer tour locations include: Ukraine, New York, Ireland, California, Ukraine, Oregon, Scotland, Idaho, Quebec, Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia, Prince
Edward Island and the Iles de la Madeleine.
