About artist
For 57 years, the Barvinok Ukrainian Dance School has provided traditional dance instruction to generations of Ukrainians in Mississauga and the Greater Toronto Area. Today, we proudly teach 560 students of all ages. Our school remains committed to celebrating Ukrainian heritage, expanding cultural diversity in Canada, and strengthening our community's identity.
We also remain dedicated to international outreach and humanitarian efforts. In the summer of 2024, our dancers toured four East Coast provinces. This tour spanned seven cities and raised $62,000 CAD to support the Rehabilitation Centre in Lviv, which assists those affected by the ongoing war.
In the summer of 2025, Barvinok toured Europe, performing in Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, and Poland. During this tour, we performed at the Lemko festival in Zdynia. Our mission was to express sincere gratitude to those supporting Ukraine during this difficult time.
In June 2026, we were invited to participate in the Ukrainian Festival in Baltimore, MD, USA.
We are truly grateful to the BWVTUF committee for the opportunity to participate in this year's Ukrainian Festival. We look forward to sharing our traditions with the festival audience.
