​Barvinok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble was founded in 2004 under the auspices of the Ukrainian Association of Washington State. Currently we are the only dance school that offers Ukrainian Folk Dance classes in Washington State. Over the past decade our students have performed for various audiences, at cultural festivals and private events, and participated in many competitions. Our dedicated instructors are experienced and aim to give each student personalized attention while keeping an encouraging attitude.

Dancing is a sport that offers countless benefits, too many to list in fact! However, some of the greatest include personal expression, mental relaxation, a fun form of exercise, and encouragement of creative thinking. Dancing also teaches students the value of discipline, dedication, and the importance of teamwork – fundamental qualities that are highly valued in life and in the workforce. For these reasons we aspire to spread the joy of dance to others! Our main goal is to turn dancing into a passion and spread knowledge about Ukraine’s vibrant culture to our local community. Whether you’re looking to reconnect to your Ukrainian roots or want to master a new style of dance – join our team and we will help you reach your full potential.
