Guests will be treated to a special dance performance featuring the dances and brightly coloured costumes from various regions of Ukraine You will also get to enjoy the "Troyanda" debut of several new dances choreographed by Troyanda's Artistic Director Dean Mackedenski. "Russian Dervish", "Forever Volyn", "Gypsy Fire" and "Winterdance" were specially choreographed for a collaboration with the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra this past May. Ensemble dancers worked on these pieces for a whole year but were kept underwraps until their guest performance with the LSO. Now Troyanda family, friends and fans get to reap the benefits with a breathtaking performance.
