Each and every performance is romantic, elevated, and passionate. The ensemble’s diverse concert programs have been warmly received by audiences in over sixty countries including Mexico, the United States, Cuba, Venezuela, Vietnam, India, China, Brazil, and Korea.
Virsky started in 1937 by two well known Ukrainian ballet masters, Pavlo Virsky and Mykola Bolotov. From 1955 to 1975 the group was led by Virsky whose exciting choreography thrilled dance audiences for years. It was under the guidance of Virsky that the company matured into the professional dance ensemble that the world enjoys today.
In 1980, Myroslav Vantukh, Virsky’s disciple and an expert in folk traditions and ethnography took over from Virsky and continued in the same spirit of creative genius, preservation and development of folk choreographic art. Virsky continues to grow under the direction of Vantukh as he takes the dancers to new heights of accomplishment through his ever expanding repertoire of new dances and continues to entertain and educate the world about the talents of the Ukraine.
