The National Ballet of Ukraine (NBU), one of the world’s premier ballet companies and
the country’s official ballet company, will grace the stages of the United States this October with the dancer’s exceptional talent and magnificent highlights from its repertoire. This 16-city tour will include 20 performances taking place across the East Coast, including Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts (1300 Biscayne Blvd) Oct. 25 – 26 at 8 p.m.
Joining NBU on the tour are the spectacular Ukrainian Shumka Dancers, thrillingly bringing
beloved folk dances, including the audience favorite Hopak, to life with powerful traditional music, jaw-droppingly athletic choreography and historic costumes. 44 elite dancers from the two companies will celebrate Ukrainian culture before a state-of-the-art, massive 3-D screen, immersing the audience in breathtaking scenic elements to enhance the companies’ world class artistry. The tour marks the first time any dance company has performed with this groundbreaking technology.
