As part of the Aboriginal Cultural conference I mentioned yesterday, we were privileged to enter the Big House and watch some dance. While watching, I started thinking about how dance is a big part of a lot of cultures, and then that got me thinking about the dance associated with one of my own cultures, Ukrainian. I have blogged about my Ukrainian heritage previously.
I love Ukrainian dance. I love the vibrant colourful costumes, and the athleticism of the dancers. I also love the energetic music. Unfortunately, I have never done any of this dance myself, there was no opportunity for this in the community I grew up in.
So, today's You Tube Weekend is a video of Ukrainian Dancing. Enjoy!
I was in Ukrainian dance as a teenager - it's fun stuff! We went up and down the island dancing at weddings and reunions...really cool.
