GENERAL INFORMATION
LOCATION & REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
Our dance classes are held at the Ardrossan Recreation Complex, located in Ardrossan, Alberta. The dance season starts in September, with most community performances and festivals in March and April. Our Year End Concert closes our season on the last Saturday in May.
​
Class schedules are organized at the start of the dance season in September. Dancers are evaluated in early September, and placed in the appropriate level at the discretion of our professional instructors. We currently run classes for ages 3 to adult, including a beginner adult class for our dancers over 18 who would like to learn Ukrainian dance for the first time.
​
Class lengths are dependent on the group level. Younger dancers attend 30 minute classes, while older groups will range from an hour to 1 hour and 45 minutes, with an additional 30-60 minutes of technique training.
