Yevshan dancers put on "spectacular show"

SASKATOON, Sask. - The Yevshan Ukrainian Folk Ballet Ensemble put on what one critic called "a spectacular show" during a special two-day concert program of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra here on November 20-21.

The weekend event, held in Centennial Auditorium, was part of the "Century Saskatoon" Festival.

The 22-member ensemble that has entertained audiences which have included England's Queen Elizabeth, performed three Hutsul dances, "hahilky," the Yevshan Zillia, the Hopak and the Kozak Dance.

In his review, Wilf Popoff of the Star-Phoenix called the performance "overwhelming," labeling the dancers' enthusiasm "infectious."

"During six folk ballets and dances they never once failed to maintain a high level of entertainment," he wrote.
