Cheremosh School of Dance

Cheremshyna

As the senior performing ensemble in the Cheremosh School of Dance, Cheremshyna is comprised of dancers aged 14 and up. Under the direction of Mykola Kanevets, Cheremshyna dancers have developed a prominent place in the Ukrainian dance community, delighting audiences with a skill and professionalism far beyond that often expected of a junior group.

Cheremshyna dancers spend a minimum of six hours a week in rehearsal. To the dancers, Cheremshyna is more than just a dance ensemble - it is a way of life. It is a sense of pride in the future of the young people of Canada. To Cheremosh, Cheremshyna is a promise of the future.
