It's almost time for our End of Year Recital!

We invite family and friends to join us on Sunday, June 14 at St. George Ukrainian Orthodox Church in St. Catharines for light refreshments and performances from all our dancers.

Show begins at 12pm, arrive early for seating (we had a full house last year). Doors open at 11:30am.

We're nearing the end of our dance season but we still have a few more practices and performances to go.

See all of our dancers this June!

Interested in signing your child up for Ukrainian dancing and joining Dunai Dance Ensemble?

Registration begins in late August for the 2026/2027 season - keep an eye out later this summer for details.

For now, you can email us at [email protected] to get on our waitlist to be notified when registration opens.

We welcome dancers from age 5+ and invite our new dancers to try their first two classes for free in Sept. to see if our classes are right for you.

Earlier this month our Intermediate and Senior dancers performed for the Ukrainian Youth Association - CYM St. Catharines Plenum Banquet at St. John the Theologian Ukrainian Catholic Church.

At the start of the evening, our Senior A & B dancers performed the traditional "Pryvit" dance to welcome all the guests for the evening. The dance features costumes, steps, and music from different regions of Ukraine and is complete with the presentation of the korovai wishing blessings and prosperity to all those in attendance.

During dinner, our Intermediates performed "Bavynka". In this dance the girls play together through lively steps, playful formations and spirited fun.
