Ukrainian classes
begin for age 4 & 5 if the
dancer is ready. All ages and levels are available, with the upper
levels by

Junior Arkan Apprentices). Arkan
Dance Company is admissible only

Stefura Dance Studios offers Modern
Dance, Junior Creative Movement, Jazz Dance, Classical Ballet (Cecchetti)

All students are
guaranteed to perform at a professional caliber annual concert at
the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga during the month of May.
Non-Ukrainian Dance students have costumes specially sewn for them
to wear for the
concert, which are theirs to keep each year. Ukrainian Dance
students have access to a
vast wardrobe of
regional costumes acquired from across Ukraine and Canada. There is
a photographer
and a videographer
present at the year-end concert from
Pickart Photo,
and photos and videos are
available for purchase
the summer following the concert. Professional class photos are
also taken in costume
each year in March and

To
experience dance in the higher levels of The Academy or with
Arkan Dance Company
is to
experience a
world
of cultural appreciation, performance, travel and excitement, as
well as increased
self-confidence,
discipline, hard work and dedication.
