A special part of the event will be a traditional dance workshop involving active audience participation. This will be a live, interactive practice where participants will not only observe but also join the collective movement, feel the rhythm, and experience the energy of Ukrainian tradition through their own bodies. The format is open and accessible to everyone, regardless of prior experience or training.
Immediately after the performance, at 20:00, we invite everyone to an informal gathering at The Spiceroom, TRC “Poshtovyi” (24A Poshtovyi Ave., Kryvyi Rih).
