In the Ukrainian language, Shumka translates to 'whirlwind'. This is the perfect moniker for Canada's premier folk Ukrainian dance ensemble. After decades of amazing displays of artistry, art, and emotion around the world, the celebrated ensemble returns to their adopted homeland to celebrate 60 impressive years since embarking on tour.

This one of a kind dance ensemble will present a full-length performance and a repertoire of intimate concert pieces.

The show will combine the unique genre of Ukrainian dance with classical and contemporary movement. The result? Dramatic storylines with a distinctive Shumka flair, representing a genre entirely unique to the Shumka tradition. By both respecting the origins of traditional Ukrainian culture and integrating the Canadian experience, the dance company has created a powerful production that resonates with people of all ages and cultures.
