Ukrainian dance is different.

Just like the unwavering spirit of the Ukrainian people, it is something to be marveled at.

Windsor Barvinok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble aims to share Ukrainian culture in Canada and internationally by creating and performing dances from multiple regions of Ukraine. These dances are performed in region-accurate wardrobe hand-crafted in Lviv, Ukraine.

Creating a community.

Windsor Barvinok has been around for decades, but now our role is somewhat different. With the war in Ukraine and so many Ukrainians finding sanctuary in Canada, we feel we hold some responsibility to create a safe and welcoming community. Something that can make our visitors and/or new Canadians feel some semblance of home.

You don’t really see the world if you only look through your own window.
