The Yatran is a mighty river in Ukraine and accurately describes the forcefulness and fluidity of our dancers. Yatran Dance Academy is a non-profit community group, which was founded in 1987 and incorporated in 1989. Over the last 35 years, the school went though many changes but continued to focus on sharing the love for dance. In 2019, Yatran Dance Academy became affiliated with Ukrainian National Federation, Edmonton Brunch. Yatran is a member of AUDA and UCC Edmonton.
Over the years, Yatran had performed at festivals, cultural events and private functions just to name a few. Yatran dancers had an opportunity to perform in other regions in Canada, US, Mexico and Ukraine.
Yatran competes at several competitions throughout the year and had brought home outstanding awards and honors.
