UKRAINIAN DANCE: A CROSS-CULTURAL APPROACH
Andriy Nahachewsky
Available now at Oseredok Boutique!

 "This work very much reflects the personal and professional history of its author – Andriy Nahachewsky, who holds the Huculak Chair of Ukrainian Culture and Ethnography at the University of Alberta. It underlines the experience of someone who has lived, loved (the experiential is evident) and learned Ukrainian dance. Starting at a young age, the author went through the dance ranks until he was teaching tantsi several nights a week as a teen and young adult. When he entered the world of academe, he pursued the topic further—and in a very serious way. This end result took well over a decade and a half of effort and reflection...This is without a doubt the most informative work you can find about Ukrainian dance in any language."
