Reviews

Kolo shows Ukrainian Culture through dance and art and music. Going in and seeing the grand level and the scope of the show was really cool. Just the screens were so fantastic and matching the choreography. It was really well done.

Nick Waters. Movie Director

It is a wonderful taste of all the styles of dancing done to music that has Ukrainian basis and a story of Ukraine mixed in.

Dawn Smart. Designer

If you really follow the visuals along with the dancing and the music. It starts out, to me, before the war, kind of goes through the phase of the war and then comes out after the war - victorious. That’s what I saw, and it was touching.
