A dynamic folk dancing ensemble, the Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company is theatrical and full of energy. Traveling with its signature orchestra, this 85-member company is classically trained--and well-versed in Ukrainian folklore.
Says the New York Times, “The young men in the Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company are still soaring high in the air in splits, careering around the stage in gravity-defying butterfly jumps and spinning like tops in the 18th-century equivalent of break dancing… Any dance lover will appreciate the eye-opening level of technique that remains undiminished since the company first came [to New York City] in the 1970's. Vigor and power go with amazing lightness.”
