Who We Are
The Dnipro Ukrainian Dance Ensemble was founded in 1967 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the purpose of celebrating Ukrainian cultures and traditions with a focus on folk dance. We specialize in traditional choreography that is artistic,acrobatic and elegant. Our costuming is designed and made in Ukraine using traditional colors and designs.
Over the decades, hundreds of dancers have learned and performed with the dance ensemble and had the opportunity to perform in the US and internationally. Dnipro is made up of 3 groups that vary by age of dancers: Kalyna, Promin and Dnipro. We pride ourselves on working with children and adults of all different ethnic backgrounds, not only Ukrainian,and dancers are not required to have formal dance training to join the ensemble.
Our dance ensemble if led by volunteers who have danced in Dnipro for many years and love to share their experience with others.
