VOLYA UKRAINIAN DANCE ENSEMBLE

Volya meaning ‘freedom’, encompasses the unified spirit of the over 40 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.

Since its’ inception in 1989, Volya has flourished into a vibrant ensemble consisting of dedicated members who have captivated and delighted audiences with their dynamic performances around the world. Volya is committed to travelling internationally and has toured to many destinations abroad such as Germany, Brazil and the sunny beaches of Portugal!

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!
