Syzokryli Ukrainian Dance Ensemble - over the top at European Folk Festival

Each year New York holds a European Folk Festival presented by the Slavic Heritage Council of America and directed by George Tomov, renowned for his Macedonian dance Ensemble. This year it took place on Sunday March 18th at the Haft Auditorium of the Fashion Institute of Technology. No less than seven different ethnic dance groups delighted the audience, satisfying even the most voracious of appetites for Slavic folk music and dance. Along with Ukrainian, there were Bulgarian, Serbian, Slovak, Macedonian and Polish ensembles, as well as a special appearance by a Circassian (pronounced "seerkazhen") group.

The de facto headliner this year was the Syzokryli Dance Ensemble under the direction of Roma Pryma-Bohachevsky. The troupe "bookended" the afternoon's program opening with the traditional "Pryvit" (Welcome) and closing with the exhilarating "Hopak", rousing everyone up from their seats.

Images of other Slavic group performances at the European Folk Festival are also available at Brama:
