New to Calgary – Calgary is a newcomer's city! If you are new to Calgary and are looking to get involved with Ukrainian dance please give us a call. We are always looking for new dancers who have experience, or have never danced before. The prerequisite is a love of dance whether you are an adult or child!
Send us an email.


Another great site to check out if you are new to our city or country is the Cultural Page of the Canadian Relocation Systems,the Online Guide for people Relocating or Moving in Canada Here you can find the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) representing the Ukrainian Canadian community before the people and Government of Canada, which promotes linkages with Ukraine and identifies and addresses the needs of the Ukrainian community in Canada.
