Folk! Ukrainian Dance Documentary by KinoRox Productions

[mkovalenko]

Cool, accidentally stumbled upon this through related videos, and glad I found this! Tried to find it on Amazon to purchase but it doesn't have it, you should make it available there! Anyways, I just purchased it from your web site! Thanks for doing it, hoping to get it soon!

By the way, I'm in the local Ukrainian dance ensemble (Seattle Barvinok), and it's hard, just like this video says, but also so cool! I need to do more stretching, more gymnastics, more ballet, more Ukrainian dancing, oh...

[MrLorhen]

При чем тут русская душа?Это украинские танцы и душа должна быть украинская!

[KuToBpAC]

Без русской души там делать нечего, как бы ты хорошо не танцевал...

[z00m3r0n]

Looks great; hoping to catch it tomorrow.

[martyxa25]

saw the movie today in chicago!!! absolutely love it, it was an amazing movie i can relate to its so much =]

thank you!

[LuckyNinja11]

I love seeing traditions such as folk dance and song being carried on. I think everyone needs to remember where we are from and be proud of who we are. Traditions are dying out and it is a scary thing.

Lindo demais!

[herowych]

любіть Україну!

[roxysparkles]

Folk! will screen in Cleveland on April 11th and 12th, 7:30pm at the Ukrainian Museum-Archives. Come by if you are around!

[lucelli1chivas]

Will it be anywhere else?

[scorero23]

so sad with the current politics regarding the current Bohachevsky schools. why did ana and andrij have to disagree and andrij break away?

[hranyczny]

Which Ana and what happened?

[scorero23]

haha, you should have tried to find a different teacher, although there probably wasn't at the time. now, however, my instructor holds classes in english.

and just to let you know, i have seen 1, but only 1, black kid do ukrainian dancing. im sure there are some more so you wouldn't have been alone.

[lep284]

I had Roma Pryma Bohachevsky as an adjudicator twice in my hometown of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada about 15 years ago. I'm so happy I came across this documentary, and I wish I would have been able to dance under her. Is the full video available for purchase?

[Aussieuke]

Just came across this clip.Terrific bit of nostalgia. I danced many years ago (40 odd years ago)and still remember the pre event nerves and the hard yards of tired muscles.We still have some talent over here in Australia so watch out World.

[fxdwings]

Okay, now rather than writing argumentative comments, by being a typical Ukrainian, of who is better than who, we are all unique and so awesome at what we do. Roma Pryma Bohachevsky was phenomenal and came as a disciplinarian that taught us more than just the dance... So we are all phenomenal!

[roxysparkles]

Hey everyone--thanks for keeping up with the doc and viewing the trailer.

We were just in the Czech Rep with it, hoping to get it screened in the US and Canada soon.

Thanks- Roxy

[ukrdancer]

Sorry but the best Ukrainian dancers (outside of Ukraine) live in Edmonton, AB. Home of Shumka, Cheremosh, Vohon, & Volya. Need I say more. Now, if only if this were to come out soon!

[arc4]

i agree:) i'm going to see vohon on saturday. haven't seen them in so long. a few friends and people that i danced with have been through them. always a good show.

[Julesultana]

SALVA proud to be ukranian!

[FoxGhost7]

Definitely wanna see that... also wanna learn that dance but in western Europe that seems nigh impossible... such a shame.

[Ukidancestar]

Have you heard of the Zirka dancers in dauphin MB Most of us can't dance!!

[Ukidancestar]

Canadaians and Ukrainians are the best ukrainian dancers!! :)

[herowych]

have you heard of Bradford in the UK - we can dance!

[Ukidancestar]

well that point is questionable

[MercifulMe]

Have you heard of Yorkton Canada? Now WE can dance.

[Ukidancestar]

i agree with that point

[xtoolsaviorx6]

I was a ukrainian folk dancer. then I went to college.

[WildFey]

ukrainian

[zapryantakev]

is ukranian or roshan dance???

[herowych]

Durak! Ukrainian - Remember the cossacks and how they defended Europe from the Turks...without the brave cossacks Eastern Europeans and maybe the West would be speaking Turkish by now!

The spirit of the Cossacks lives on in a free and Independent Ukraine!! SLAVA UKRAINE!!!

[thescentofawoman]

[roxysparkles]

[roxysparkles]

Hey Everyone! Thanks for the comments. To answer the question about the music, its an original piece composed for the film by Kruno Spisic. He will be composing the original score, but you can find some of his music and show dates on his myspace page. Thanks again and stay tuned for the debut of Folk!

[stevenburak]
