Learning through dance-Grade 3 Curriculum show

Troyanda Ukrainian Dance Club of Lethbridge plays host to over 900 Grade 3 Students every spring with  their annual      Grade Three Curriculum Show.  


The show includes descriptions of geography, culture, music, food and of course, dance.  The program serves to round out the Grade 3 Curriculum on Ukraine and helps it come alive for students.


There are two shows.  One held in the morning from 9:30-11:15 am and another in the afternoon 12:30-2:15 pm.  The shows are very popular and tend to sell out quickly and have considerable wait lists.



Grade 3 students are treated to an informative slideshow about Ukraine.



Dean and Ana teach students some steps
specific to a specific regional dance.









Everybody dance!!
