As Ukrainian dancers, we know there’s a lot more to Ukrainian culture than red boots and a big stage smile. Through Vsi, we (Hannah Picklyk and Kaitlin Vitt) explore and share Ukrainian traditions, dance, folklore, music, ethnography, and historical and modern-day culture. Vsi means “all, all of, everyone, everybody” in Ukrainian. And that’s what we’re here to talk about — anything and everything related to Ukrainian dance and culture.
