About artist
Barvinok Hamilton Ukrainian Dance Ensemble has been in existence for over 60 years and is home to over 40 students ages 3 and up. Based in the Holy Spirit Church Hall in Hamilton, Ontario, dancers perform year-round at various church celebrations, festivals, concerts, and celebrations within the Greater Toronto Area, as well as the Hamilton & Niagara regions. Barvinok performed on the televised broadcast revival of the “Tiny Talent Time” show, and in front of appreciative audiences at the Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival, Calgary Ukrainian Festival, the Capital Ukrainian Festival in Ottawa, and the St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Festival in Rochester, where it made its US debut. Under the direction and choreography of Nadine Usyk and Taras Gulka, the group has flourished with an expanding repertoire of both traditional and non-traditional dances. Barvinok Hamilton dancers are dedicated to the promotion of Ukrainian culture through music, song, and dance. Barvinok Hamilton is proud to perform and to keep our vibrant Ukrainian culture alive for generations to come.
