Hopak in the Park – Ukrainian Cossack Dance Spectacular
MELBOURNE will spring into action in spectacular style when an army of Ukrainian Cossack dancers hit the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on April 30, 2011 from 1.00pm to 6.00pm.
Witness a cast of more than 300 Ukrainian dancers from across Australia kick up a storm as they showcase centuries of dazzling dance moves in the outdoor extravaganza Hopak In the Park.
Featuring Australia’s best Ukrainian dance ensembles and musical acts – including the Cossack Brothers, Iskra, Roztiazhka, Verchovyna, Veselka, Volya, Yevshan and Zahrava – the inaugural Ukrainian Dance Festival promises to captivate Melbourne audiences with an afternoon feast of high-flying kicks, breathtaking spins and jaw-dropping leaps.
Special guest band Hrim from New York and popular young music talent S.o.V also join a local line-up for a fusion of traditional Ukrainian tunes and funky beats.
Adding his support to the event is the State Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship, The Hon. Nicholas Kotsiras, MP.
