dancing with fire

'Vohon' which in Ukrainian means 'fire' is a youthful, energetic dance ensemble based in Edmonton, Alberta. Vohon is praised for its colourful diversity of talent, its amazing ability to transcend the traditional into new cultural landscapes, and its power to ignite the stage.

The Ensemble is currently under the qualified artistic direction of Ken Kachmar and Trish Kushniruk. Together they have many years of dance and instructional experience. Their unique styles combine to provide the dancers with challenging and innovative choreography, including both regional repertoire and character storyline pieces.

Since its inception, Vohon has had the privilege of performing at premier Ukrainian Festivals and other performances across Western Canada, the United States, Australia, Germany, Scotland, Thailand, China, and Brazil. Vohon has been truly a great ambassador for Edmonton’s Ukrainian community, as well as for their province and country.
