Virsky's Ukrainian dance compon/ returns to rave reviews in U.S. by Helen Sitiindak Special to The Weekly NEW YORK - In 1937, premier danseur and choreographer Pavlo Virsky of the Odessa Ballet recruited a small group of dancers, trained them for six months and brought this folk dance troupe to Moscow to compete in the first National Festival of Folk Dance. The group took all the major prizes. At a time when Russian choreo­ grapher Igor Moiseyev was just be­ ginning to form his school in Moscow, Virsky's choreography was being hailed as unique. Blending classical ballet and folk dance steps in his choreography and thus theatricalizing Ukrainian folk dances, Virsky produced exciting and beautiful stage spectacles. The male dancers were praised for their agility and athletic prowess, the women for their graceful movement and charm. The Virsky ensemble grew in stature and renown to its position as one of the two principal dance ensembles in the Soviet Union and was officially esta­ blished in 1951 as a national institution. The troupe began to tour interna­ tionally - Europe, the Orient, South America and Canada. In 1962, the late impresario Sol Hurok brought the Ukrainian dance company to New Virsky's Ukrainian State Dance Company in a dramatic scene from a Kozak dance. York.
