DANCE IN UKRAINE

[angel95086]

How popular is dance in Ukraine and what kind is the most popular? Is there a variety of different styles there like jazz and hip hop? I just didnt know if that was some American stuff or something.

Hi!
Well, dancing is very popular in Ukraine.As far as I know it is break-dance and some kinds of hip-hop that are well known among young ukrainians.I mean, u can often see a "cool" boy who is "cool" only because he dances break.
Most little children learn folk- or latindances.The older generation dances folk and walz.

hello all!

I'm a new member and I'm interested in alternative electronic dance music (drum'n'bass, electro, hip hop, dub, ragga/dancehall, techno, trip hop, IDM, ambient, experimental). Does there exist an adequate scene in Ukraine? If there is, where are the clubs/places? Which artists/collectives are wellknown in this country for that? Are there music labels which are releasing this kind of music? Is there a possibility to get this music for an Austrian? (this is especially a question for members who live in big towns in Ukraine like Charkow or Kiev) I'm really very grateful for each information you have for me

kind greetings to all members
