Instructors
Classes are led by talented and energetic teachers with a focus on developing skill, technique, artistry and enriching knowledge of Ukrainian culture through dance.
Dance Environment
Sopilka Ukrainian Dance School offers a professional environment for Ukrainian dancers!
Our studio, located within Kazka Dance Collective, provides our dancers with sprung floors, mirrors and barres. This type of environment is essential in building strong and healthy dancers
Costumes
Sopilka is the proud owner of an extensive costume wardrobe, allowing most students the opportunity to borrow a full costume provided by the school. There are instances however, where a Ukrainian shirt or blouse may be required for certain dances.
Each year, the School continues to build on its costume wardrobe. A Costume Rental Fee is built into Sopilka’s tuition fees in order to pay for regular maintenance of the costumes and provide funding towards the purchase of new pieces. Fundraising activities are a major contributor to this as well.
