Ukraina dancers to perform at Epcot Center

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Ukrainian Folk Dance Ensemble, based in Chicago, will perform at Disney World's Epcot Center during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Thirty-seven dancers, who perform in the SUM-A-sponsored group, were invited by the center to give three performances a day, every day from December 26 through December 31.

The dance group was formed in April 1978; the choreographer is Evhen Litvinov, who studied ballet and folk dance in Ukraine. He performed as a dancer in Kherson and Odessa, and with the Pavlo Virsky Ukrainian Dance Ensemble of Kiev.

The Ukraina dancers have performed on numerous occasions in the Chicago area and have traveled on tour to the East Coast, performing at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J., and the Verkhovyna Festival in Glen Spey, N.Y.
