NOTE: For Admission into the Cheremosh Academy Program, a successful audition is required.
A love of dance , as well as high level of commitment and self-motivation, is required to meet this program’s high standards. We accept dancers into the ACADEMY Programs through an audition process in June and September each year. The Academy Program is aimed at providing dancers with the skills and experience to audition for the CHEREMOSH UKRAINIAN DANCE COMPANY. Many dancers over the years have successfully joined the Company after graduating our Academy Program.
Ballet Enrichment Classes are included in ALL ACADEMY PROGRAMS
As the senior performing ensemble in the Cheremosh School of Dance, Cheremshyna is comprised of dancers aged approximately 14 years and up.
Under the direction of Mykola Kanevets, Cheremshyna dancers have developed a prominent place in the Ukrainian dance community, delighting audiences with a skill and professionalism far beyond that often expected of a junior group. The level of instruction that the dancers receive challenges them to the highest level of excellence and discipline; many dancers make the transition from a dancer to a high level performer in this ensemble.
Cheremshyna dancers spend six hours per week in rehearsal. To the dancers, Cheremshyna is a sense of pride and an exciting time in the development of their dance technique and artistry. To Cheremosh, Cheremshyna is a promise of the future. For dancers wishing to join the Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance Company, Cheremshyna is a perfect place to start.
Cheremshyna performs at many public festivals, events, private functions and Society events. Cheremshyna aims to go on a 5-10 day tour every other summer. Their summer tours have taken them to places such as Banff, Penticton, Winnipeg and as far as Aberdeen, Scotland.
