This dance is from the Volyn region of Ukraine. The region lies in the northwestern
Ukraine between the Podillia region in the west and Polissia in the north. The Volyn
dance traditions have been greatly influenced by the long Polish rule. The hopping
and spinning steps characteristic of these dances are emphasized by the swish of the
women’s skirts and the lower portion of the men’s jackets. This dance was
choreographed by George and Irina Arabagi.

Presented by George & Irina Arabagi in 2012. View pdf here.
