Verkhovyna School of Dance
Named after the highlands in Ukraine, Verkhovyna School of Dance provides a platform for youth to express their culture, heritage and pride through dance. Our instructors have extensive experience and encourage students to strive for excellence while fostering a positive and enjoyable learning environment.
Studia Shumka
In Fall of 2018, Shumka established a new program under the Shumka family, Studia Shumka. This junior performing ensemble acts as a bridging program between the Shumka School of Dance and the professional Shumka company. Many of the dancers are also Junior Instructors in the Shumka School of Dance.
These emerging young artists train over ten hours per week in Ukrainian, character, ballet and contemporary dance, and have built a repertoire for performances throughout the community. On occasion they train, rehearse and perform with the professional Shumka dance company, in anticipation of their evolution into the next step of the Shumka Family.
