Volya! Ukrainian Dance Ensemble

Volya meaning 'freedom', encompasses the unified spirit of the over 45 ensemble members. With many of Volya's original members having studied in Ukraine, a desire existed to develop a similar academic style of dance within Canada. A strict adherence to technical training and professionalism is a philosophical belief still maintained today, under the Artistic Direction of Zhenia Bahri, a former professional dancer and director from Ukraine. Over the years many dancers have entered Volya's studios with the same goal in mind, to dance for the love of dance and to establish an identity for the ensemble that is uniquely Volya!
