Leda Tarnawsky began her dance training at the Shumka School of Dance, where she completed the nine year syllabus program in Ukrainian character dance, R.A.D. ballet, and contemporary movement. Leda’s training was supplemented by a summer of regional workshops and performances throughout Ukraine in 2017. In 2018, Leda successfully auditioned for the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers and has since performed in productions including Mosquito’s Wedding, Ancestors and Elders, Shumka on Tour, and Shumka’s Nutcracker with guests from the National Opera of Ukraine and Virsky Ukrainian National Folk Dance Ensemble. Leda is a Tier 1 certified Shumka Dance Syllabus Academy instructor at the Shumka School of Dance, and is excited to be working with talented young dancers who share the same passion for Ukrainian dance and culture.
