8th grade student and soloist Zoryanna Zarycky impressed the audience with her velvety vocals, smooth and professional style, and her love for Ukraine with her rendition of "Це Моя Україна". 


The men of Syzokryli, a professional NYC Ukrainian dance company, greet the audience with bravado and expertise.  Scroll below to see them and their female counterparts in beautiful and acrobatic Ukrainian dancing.








Yulia Tretiak of Syzokryli spins too quickly for the shutter speed of the photographer to capture a clear image.




Under the Artistic Direction of Orlando Pagan, Syzokryli continues to showcase the artistry and beauty of its late founder and Director for 25 years, Mrs. Roma Pryma-Bohachevsky.


Here Syzokryli close out their show with the "Засвистали Козаченьки" section of their heartstopping Hopak!


Syzokryli are thanked by our MC's, Victoria Hordyeyeva and Andrij Stasiw.



Xylophone virtuoso Roman Lankios plays to a full-house with musical savvy and skill.

Some of youngest dancers impressed audiences with their expertise.
