BRAVO 2026 marks our fifth performance in six years. This year, Vykrutas has invited dance groups from across Western Canada who share a connection to Ukrainian heritage. Together, we celebrate our ability to collaborate, our shared vision for the future, and our unwavering solidarity with the people of Ukraine, who continue to face aggression from the Russian Federation.
In recent years, BRAVO has helped us raise vital funds in support of Ukrainian resistance. Through these efforts, we were able to purchase a medical ambulance for Ukraine and provide ongoing support to Ukrainian families who have sought refuge in Canada.
Above all, BRAVO stands as a powerful statement:
Ukrainian culture is alive.
Ukrainian culture is growing.
Ukrainian culture has a bright and unstoppable future.
BRAVO for the BRAVE.
Bravery is unbeatable.
Glory to Ukraine.
Glory to the Heroes.
BRAVO! is a high-energy celebration of Ukrainian culture, bringing together music, movement, and community on one spectacular stage. This collaborative showcase features talented Ukrainian dance and music groups from across Alberta, united for one unforgettable performance. From powerful choreography and live choral sound to vibrant costumes and shared traditions, BRAVO! highlights the beauty, strength, and diversity of Ukrainian culture. Whether you are deeply connected to Ukrainian heritage or experiencing it for the first time, BRAVO! promises an inspiring evening filled with passion, artistry, and pride — a true celebration you won’t want to miss.
