The Dolyna Dancers once again danced to a filled SVRSS Cafeteria this past Tuesday evening, during their 3rd Annual Old Fashion Christmas Concert!


Friends and family were entertained by our dancers’ newest dances, instructed by Joe Synk and new to our instructional team, Kelsa Ewashko.


A number of Traditional Ukrainian Carols were sung by our local Ukrainian Choir, instructed by Silvia Hnatuik who also provided a beautiful explanation of the tradition of Christmas Caroling.



Sweet treats and refreshments filled everyone’s bellies and door prizes and silent auction draws were made throughout the evening.


Wayne Doverspike was the lucky winner of the $1000 draw and Teresa Kujanpaa won the “Christmas Cheer Basket”!

The evening was drawn it a close with special treats from Santa for our dancers and the many children attending our concert!
