Welcome to Yorkton Troyanda Ukrainian D​a​nce Ensemble
Troyanda offers classes to dancers of all skill levels from 3 years old to adults. We love to perform throughout Yorkton and the surrounding communities!
Who is Troyanda?
Troyanda Ukrainian Dance Ensemble was registered in 1981, but has been active as a dance troupe since the 1960’s. Troyanda strives to fulfill its primary goal of providing an opportunity for our young people to express themselves through dance and to develop an appreciation for one of the most beautiful Ukrainian traditions. Under the direction of Stacie Fahlman, Troyanda offers classes to dancers from 3 years old to adults. We enjoy being a vital part of Yorkton's cultural identity!
