Roztiazhka - Perth
  
 

Roztiazhka Ukrainian Cossack Dancers is an independent dance company.  The purpose of our company is to perform the genre of Ukrainian-cossack
and Ukrainian-folk dance.   Membership is granted through audition and upon compliance to the principles of our constitution. 
Roztiazhka is currently comprised of 21 dancers (10 female, 11 male). Membership fluctuates from season to season,
however our company consistently averages between 17 to 23 dancers, with a mean age of 24. 

Roztiazhka Ukrainian Cossack Dancers recognise that they have earned their distinction in the dance community.
The majority of dancers can trace their ancestry back to Ukraine .  Membership is open to all Australians with an interest in Ukrainian dance,
and we are increasingly enjoying the membership of new dancers with diverse cultural backgrounds,
all of whom greatly contribute to the character and workings of our company.

 Some choose to dance because it provides them with a link to their Ukrainian ancestry, others because it provides them with an artistic outlet,

others still because it provides  them with a constructive social group of friends.  Our dance company is proudly Australian, and we thrive because of the multicultural

 freedom which Australian society, by far in general, have wholeheartedly embraced, and which they continue to support, and enjoy.
