Our Vision
Dedicated to fostering the art and joy of Ukrainian Dance
Yavir School of Ukrainian Dance is dedicated to fostering the art and joy of Ukrainian dance in children and youth in a community environment. It has evolved from its humble beginnings in 1962 and emerged as a highly professional dance school, with nearly 200 dancers and five performing ensembles. The goals of Yavir School are to provide its dancers and audience with an experience that is exciting, inspirational, and educational while encouraging interest in Ukrainian dance and culture. The School gratefully acknowledges the support of the community of St. Demetrius Ukrainian Catholic Church.

Yavir School of Ukrainian Dance trains its dancers in a fun and stimulating way using the Shumka Dance Syllabus Academy's (S.D.S.A.) Syllabus for Ukrainian Dance, the leading curriculum-based, age-appropriate Ukrainian dance program in Canada. SSUD, guides dancers through a step-by-step training program, ensuring proper growth, fostering critical skill development and ensuring safety from injury, while providing students with a broad base in Ukrainian dance and culture.

Building self-esteem and friendships are also essential elements to a dancer's progress. As a community-based school, Yavir offers the opportunity for friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

So jump high, spin fast, and join us to catch the excitement of the Yavir School of Ukrainian Dance!
