Dance One Dance for Ukraine
Hello, I am Ira Weisburd,
I am so proud to be part of this world-wide dance community that has "rallied round" to support the people of Ukraine.
As a way of helping even more, I have launched the Global Dance Rally and created this simple Ukrainian folk dance to a traditional song which features the voices of Ukrainians as they sing for peace. The dance is called Prayer for Ukraine (Molys'za Ukrayinu)
You can download the song, view the teaching video, read the script and watch a performance demonstration below.
Thank You
