Ukrainian dancer of the month is ... from Canada!

Julianna Wilson has been dancing for 7 years with the Veetertz Ukrainian Dance School and this year alone has won 8 gold medals. 

Julianna was nominated as the Ukrainian dancer of the month because she feels very passionate about dance, and she loves getting in touch with her Ukrainian roots.  

She chooses to Ukrainian dance because she has made lifelong friends, and sees a bright future for herself in her continuation of Ukrainian dance, language, and culture.

She is currently in grade 6, and in her spare time enjoys being outside; either skiing, camping, or playing volleyball.

Congratulations Julianna! Keep on dancing!
