The Dolyna Dancers held their year end concert on May 14, 2022 at the Veterans Hall. The dancers were pleased to perform in front of a crowd once again and put on an entertaining afternoon. <\/p>\n

The program started with a procession of the dancers, followed by Oh Canada and then the Ukrainian anthem. Following the anthems the dancers and audience stood for a moment of silence to recognize the war in Ukraine. The whole group then performed Pryvit, or the Welcome Dance. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Hospydar and Hospydyna for the afternoon were Mike and Marie Yablonski and were greeted by their graduating daughter Portia and Grace Cowan who presented the bread and wheat. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The rest of the afternoon flew by as all the groups each performed multiple dances from several regions. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our youngest group the Sadochuks are always a crowd favorite. As this was their debut performance they were so excited to be up there and came off the stage and were ready to go back up again. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were pleased to have the Benito Vesselli Senior dancers as our guest performers. The Young Bulycz family were also guest performers and performed a lovely family dance for us. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThe senior Dolyna Dancers and senior Vesselli Dancers performed our final dance of the program together. After the dancers finished the program they all enjoyed a heel toe polka together. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And to wrap up our afternoon they all participated in a kolomeyka. The kolomeyka even saw a few alumni join the stage. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Congratulations to our graduating dancer, Portia Yablonski. We wish you all the best! <\/p>\n

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our concert by attending, purchasing 50\/50 tickets and flowers for the dancers. The winner of our 50\/50 draw was one of our own dancers Paige Miles. The winner of our door prize was Phyllis Klassen. <\/p>\n

And last but certainly not least a huge thank you to our instructor Amanda Bulycz. Thank you for a great year and all that you do for our club. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
