Since 1949, the Ukrainian Dancers of Miami have preserved and promoted Ukraine’s culture through traditional music and dance performances. Composed of about 40 Ukrainians and Ukrainian-Americans, the ensemble showcases traditional Avramenko dances as well as original pieces. The dance troupe performs year-round in South Florida at festivals, cultural programs, and schools, and has performed across the state at venues such as EPCOT’s World Showcase in Walt Disney World and Orlando ArtsFest. The Ukrainian Dancers of Miami are committed to educating others in the traditions of their ethnic heritage and keeping alive the legacy of Ukrainian dance. The Ukrainian Dancers of Miami are HistoryMiami Museum's artist-in-residence from September through December 2022.
