The Family - Behind closed doors

While some of us have come from past Ukrainian dance companies together, others come from distinctly different dance corporations, from ballet to Irish. There are even some who before Lehenda have never danced before.
However we’re a family with the same vision.

Lehendas dancers want to better ourselves in many different ways, but all in the spirit of the Ukrainian culture. While some of us aim to improve our dancing capabilities, building stamina and grace, others are learning to become performers.

Stage presence in the character a dancer plays is vital if we want our stories to be understood. The way we angle our bodies, hold our posture and expressions on our faces all create the atmosphere on stage and within the audience.

Unison and quality are essential in dance, but not before performance. There needs to be life and excitement behind every step, shocks and surprises in the unexpected direction of the dance.

The story needs to be real and carry its much needed emotion. The feelings are in all the dancers as we become stronger and more in touch with the dances.
