The Company
    The vision began in November 2004. A group of passionate professionally trained dancers came together to form the Suzirya Ukrainian Dance Theatre. Suzirya, meaning a constellation of many stars, is founded on the eloquent fusion of ballet and traditional folk dance. Under the direction of Serguei Makarov, Suzirya continues to entertain audiences worldwide with countless choreographic compositions embodying the culture and spirit of Ukraine. 

Some of Suzirya’s notable performances include; The Orange Revolution (2005); Multicultural Dance Montage for Her Majesty's Royal Visit and The Calgary Stampede Evening Grandstand Show (2005); The Kimberley International Folk Festival (2005, 2006); Hopak In The Park (2005, 2007); Canada's National Ukrainian Festival (2006); House of Ukraine Festival (San Diego 2007); Kateryna Australia Tour 2008; and Kateryna Canadian Tour's (Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Victoria, Nanaimo, Montreal, and Ottawa 2007-2010).

 

Be sure to catch Suzirya’s magnificent combination of music, Ukrainian folk traditions, dazzling costumes, and skilled technical expertise in acrobatics, ballet, and folk dance. Their entertainment program is a spectacle that people of all ages will enjoy.
