Who We Are
The Dnipro Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, established in 1967 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is dedicated to celebrating Ukrainian cultures and traditions through the art of folk dance. We specialize in traditional choreography that embodies artistry, acrobatics, and elegance. Our authentic costumes are meticulously crafted in Ukraine, reflecting traditional colors and designs.
Throughout the years, our ensemble has welcomed hundreds of dancers who have performed both nationally and internationally. Comprising three age-diverse groups—Kalyna, Promin, and Dnipro—we embrace individuals of varied ethnic backgrounds, not limited to Ukrainian heritage, and dancers of all skill levels, with no prerequisite for formal training.
Guided by passionate volunteers, many of whom have danced with Dnipro for years, we take pride in nurturing talent and sharing our collective experience with others.
