Kryla's Choreographic repertoire has developed over
the years as costuming and music have expanded. Originally
starting with Central Ukraine and Storyline dances in the early 1980's,
Kryla introduced Western Regional dance styles in 1986 with the hiring
of a new instructor - Nathaniel Ostashewski. Since then Kryla has
established a wide range of choreographies presenting regional
styles from six ethnographic regions of Ukraine.
Like other Canadian Ukrainian Dance groups, Kryla
has evolved its own "Canadian Ukrainian" dance style! As
influences and information from Ukraine, Europe, and other dance styles
around the world continue to evolve, so does Kryla's ARTISTIC forms of
folk dance Choreography - and that is what continues to make it
exciting!
