We Don’t Just Dance With Our Feet
WE DANCE WITH OUR SOULS!
It’s no secret we hold a high standard in our teaching & expectations of our dancers – we push them hard while motivating them to be their best by giving corrections, building their stamina, repeating intricate sequences & steps, and teaching difficult choreography.
But maybe even more important than the above is that we are devoted to preserving and sharing Ukrainian culture with them. We hope to instill a passion for Ukrainian heritage that continues well beyond their dancing years. While we have them, we encourage the dancers to let this spirit shine in their dancing, inspiring each crowd they perform for!
OUR
SCHOOL
By integrating pieces of Ukrainian culture into our teaching, we keep the dancers engaged and wanting to learn more about their heritage. While constantly working to build strong foundations of technique, we challenge the dancers to surpass their goals in a positive and encouraging environment.
OUR
ENSEMBLE
After moving through the School, dancers in the Ensemble train more intensely. They are pushed to reach their artistic goals by continuing to strengthen their technique, expanding their skill set with various character exercises, and developing their performance quality. A heavy focus remains on teaching and celebrating Ukrainian culture by providing regionally accurate choreography in an entertaining way.
OUR
SPACE
Since the beginning we have been calling the town of Anola, Manitoba ‘home’ to Selo. Rehearsals are held in the large hall at Anola Community Club, equipped with portable mirrors and barres. Parents and families enjoy each others company in the spacious foyer while enjoying a treat from the Selo Cafe!
OUR
CALENDAR
You’ll notice rehearsal dates aren’t the only days noted on our calendar. Community and culture are 2 aspects of Selo that we care deeply about – that’s why you’ll see dates for Dance Display classes, Cultural Workshops, Zabavas & group bonding activities!
