Saskatoon Studio: Dance and Serhij Koroliuk

saskatoon studio: This Ukrainian folk dance is called the Holubka, according to CBC. It's familiar territory for the dancers and their bouncing, gesticulating choreographer, Serhij Koroliuk. The men kneel and clap as a dozen female dancers float and swirl and kick across the stage at a recent rehearsal in their Saskatoon studio.
