Troyanda, meaning rose, operates under the objective to preserve and promote Ukrainian culture through the art of Ukrainian dance. The group of young, talented performers has grown to be one of Canada’s most vibrant and energetic Ukrainian Dance Ensembles.

The Ensemble is honoured to have worked with many talented choreographers including Svitlana and Bohdan Tkachyshyn, Serhij Koroliuk, Paul Olijnyk, Vincent Rees, and Myroslav Vantuch upon countless others. Working with such world-renowned talent has given Troyanda the ability to truly capture the essence of Ukrainian culture and tradition.
