For many years... we have been the only training program in the world 🌎 that allows dancers, choreographers and instructors to visit professional, amateur and children's ensembles in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and take class, learn their dances and observe how they teach! 😲
Survey - it's a bit early to say for sure... but do you think there will be enough interested people to offer the program this June?
You will not be held responsible for your prediction! ✌️
An amazing Roma (Gypsy) and body percussion workshop we did in Romania. Should we do this again one day? 🤔
FYI... this was combined with a Transcarpathian workshop and Bukovynian workshop in Ukraine as well!

When that time comes in your life... and you want to take your dancing to the next level! 👍
